Victoria Fernandez with companion on couch
A dimly lit snapshot of Victoria Fernandez on the couch with a companion, apparently at home. Victoria Fernandez, who performed as Vicki Starr, was a Puerto Rican trans woman best known for dancing in San Francisco's topless clubs during the 1960s. Her collection tells the story of how she used photography to express her gender and personality from the 1950s to the 1980s, from photobooth strips to Polaroids, often showing her with lovers and friends from queer community.
