En décembre 1974, l’écrivaine Linda Rosenkrantz et le photographe Peter Hujar enregistrent une conversation dans l’appartement new-yorkais de cette dernière, alors qu’elle travaille sur un projet de livre qui consiste à demander à des artistes de raconter leur journée de la veille. Leur échange révèle un aperçu de la scène artistique new-yorkaise et des luttes personnelles qui ont jalonné la vie de l’artiste. Célèbre pour son intransigeance, Hujar est considéré comme l’un des personnages les plus importants de la scène culturelle de New York dans les années 1970 et 1980.

00:01I stay in bed till 11.45
00:04And then I put my clothes on
00:05I thought you hadn't taken them off
00:09Oh
00:10I guess I didn't, I just lied
00:17And I go downstairs to buy cigarettes
00:19And I break a $10 bill
00:21Because the cigarettes are 56 cents
00:23God, they are
00:26I say, is Allen Ginsberg there?
00:29And he says, who's calling?
00:31And I say, it's Peter Hujar
00:32I'm supposed to photograph you
00:34The Times
00:38I get my camera stuff together
00:40I had a flash that there was something
00:42Sort of bohemian poet about it
00:44And I'd be much snazzier in my red ski jacket
00:46Oh, good choice, yes
00:47I just think it's more like Lower East Side
00:53I photographed Ginsberg
00:55And he sits down in the lotus position
00:57Looking very Buddha
00:58Right in the doorway
00:59And he starts to chant
01:00And I really think
01:01Well, I can't interrupt God
01:07I realize that to do good portraits
01:09Have to, like, have the time
01:11To really look at it
01:12Really see what I'm doing
01:13Sometimes I just stand and stare at it
01:16And it's even rather pleasurable
01:21I often have a feeling
01:23Telling that in my day
01:23Nothing much happens
01:24That I've wasted it
01:25Well, now you know
01:26I've wasted another day
01:32That's why I'm doing this, actually
01:33To find out how people fill up their days
01:44That's what happened
01:45That's the way it happened
01:47I take care of it
01:48That's why I stand too
01:48I know
01:48I know
01:54You can believe there a thing
