CGiii Comment

Meet Nan Goldin – one of the world's most respected living photographers, who documented the extraordinary everyday life of New York and Berlin in the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

Goldin’s photos are littered with the self-destructive detritus of bruises, beer cans, cigarette butts, blood and unmade beds. Members of her ‘tribe’ dwelled on the margins of society: queers, drag queens, sex workers, artists and drug addicts. Her masterpiece, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, has served as a powerful influence for queer photographers of the 1990s and 2000s, such as Wolfgang Tillmans and Ryan McGinley.

Now, an almost 60-year-old Goldin retraces her steps, moving between Paris and Berlin on a sentimental journey to meet the friends who doubled as subjects for her photographs. Filmmaker Sabine Lidl accompanies Goldin as she rekindles old relationships and mourns those who have passed. The presence of Goldin’s many friends who died during the peak of the AIDS crisis hangs over many of her conversations, but she approaches nostalgia with warmth and good humour.
