Hal Fischer’s Gay Semiotics: A Photographic Study of Visual Coding Among Homosexual Men (1977) remains one of the defining publications of California conceptual photography. Combining text, image, and anthropological observation, Fischer catalogues the gestures, fashions, and signalling systems of San Francisco’s Castro and Haight-Ashbury communities through 24 text-embedded photographs reproduced here in the style of the original edition.
