| Nan Goldin photography books. Recognized
internationally for her intimate and compelling images, the American
photographer Nan Goldin (b.1953) has lived and worked in Boston, New York,
Berlin and in Paris, her current home. Since the early 1970s Goldin has
taken numerous photographs of her friends and 'family', which form a
significant and important body of work.She is most famous for her Ballad of
Sexual Dependency photographs, a constantly changing slide show of
approximately 750 photographs set to music. Goldin's life and friends became
the focus of her work - a diary of friends and lovers in Europe and America,
in the underground and gay scene. Her work often breaks social taboos with its explicit
exploration of relationships, sexualtiy and eroticism. More recently, her
images have shown the devastating effect AIDS has had of this community of
friends. Strong stuff! |
