NEW YORK - Rochester's George Eastman House's run of the controversial video that the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., ended this past Sunday. The four-minute video, titled A Fire in My Belly, was made by New York City artist David Wojnarowicz in 1986-87 to express his grief over the AIDS epidemic and his own diagnosis with the disease. It's condensed from a 20-minute film with graphic scenes of violence, sexuality and (most notoriously) an image of insects swarming over a crucified figure of Christ.
