Fire Island Invasion

The history of the book Invasion by Anderson Zaca has its origin with Zaca's invitation to the Fire Island Invasion in 2007, where he was captivated by the annual gathering of thousands of queer individuals and drag queens. With over three thousand images spanning almost two decades, Zaca's photographs serve as both an archive and a tribute to the transformative power of drag artists during this celebration. Shot in black and white film with a medium format film camera, Zaca's work combines traditional and contemporary elements, showcasing the intricate details of each scene and capturing the beautifully contradictory nature of the individuals involved. The Invasion, rooted in the rebellious spirit of the '70s gay liberation movement, represents a unique fusion of rebellion, glamour, and defiance of societal norms. Zaca's images convey a sense of reverence and aim to capture the political, sexual, and fiercely competitive expression of drag queens, highlighting the genius of their beauty and the elegance of this magical event.
