Untitled (Falling Buffalos) 1988 - 1989

This photograph, 'Untitled (Falling Buffalos)' by David Wojnarowicz shows buffalo tumbling from a cliff edge, a stark monochrome against what looks like a painted backdrop. I can only imagine Wojnarowicz making this, thinking about the sheer power and the fragility of life, maybe questioning how easily systems can fail us. The act of photographing here transforms how we see and feel. It's about more than just recording; it’s about shifting perspective and provoking thought. It feels like looking at a dream, a nightmare even. These buffalo, they're not just falling; they're symbols—of loss, of being pushed, of inevitable endings. His works hit hard because they are deeply felt and raw. He’s in conversation with artists like Leon Golub, who was also thinking about power and the body. This image keeps Wojnarowicz's voice alive, urging us to look closer.
