Preferably, use a perforating wheel to cut, but in lack of such, you can cut along lines with a scalpel, taking care to not cut all the way to the edge.

First shown in San Francisco in 1977, Gay Semiotics playfully examines the codes and symbols of gay culture through photography and text. Drawing on Fischer’s life in the Castro and Haight-Ashbury, the images mix humor with the visual language of advertising, textbooks, and documentary photography. Gay Semiotics stands as one of the earliest conceptual works to fuse structuralist linguistics with photography.
