Boys and Girls: Pierre et Gilles' Sydney Mardi Gras Poster
Feature
Leigh Raymond

Examines the 1995 poster for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. How appropriate though, at the moment when Mardi Gras had successfully commodified itself as a cultural event, that its key representation should be through international glamour product photography.
