On its website, the David Wojnarowicz Foundation presents excerpts from an interview between Wojnarowicz and Peter Hujar, part of the The David Wojnarowicz Papers in The Downtown Collection at NYU Fales Library. Wojnarowicz and Hujar met in 1980; Hujar encouraged Wojnarowicz to become an artist, and served as a mentor to him. In their conversation, the two joke about the tape recorder and Hujar recalls showing his photographs to Imogen Cunningham. In other excerpts, they talk about how Hujar uses photography as a way to “arrive at some personal truth,” Wojnarowicz notes.
