RATTLESNAKE IN A MOVING CAR: LIFE WITH HIV by artist Rob Anderson gives a human face and a heartfelt voice to the circumstances of being a longtime HIV-positive. The title is inspired by one project participant who compares living with HIV to driving with a rattlesnake in the car. The challenge is to keep it in the passenger seat where it won’t cause harm.
Project Overview:
Rattlesnake in a Moving Car is a story of HIV survival told through a multi-media artwork that brings together charcoal portraiture, audio interviews, sculpture and light into a room-size installation.
Rob Anderson, artist and internationally known HIV spokesperson, tells the story by interweaving the experiences of 20 men and women who have been successfully keeping the “rattlesnake” at bay. These positive voices, all longtime HIV survivors participating in research studies, communicate messages of hope and survival that are inspirational, provocative and impassioned.
