Between and , Ed Ruscha visualized queer sites on Sunset Boulevard. In so doing, he captured a social world that had to remain unseen while being seen—before and after Stonewall and Gay Liberation.
Particularly when combined with other sources, his seemingly indiscriminate and repeated documentation of Sunset (among other major streets of Los Angeles) yields a visual history showing how queer places, along with their social and cultural history, changed over time.
Just as queer life and culture required other kinds of knowledge to make sense of the world and navigate it, so do Ruscha’s photos. The limit of his approach towards social and cultural history, in general, is that it cannot be fully understood simply by observing façades and streets with some (unwanted) cars on them. One needs to gather additional supporting evidence—such as other photographs and oral histories—from additional resources, and then connect those to Ruscha’s work. This is particularly so when using his photographs to travel the history of queer life in twentieth-century Los Angeles.
