Nan Goldin's photobooks document friendship, sexuality, addiction, intimacy and queer communities through images made from inside the lives they depict. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is her defining sequence, combining photographs of lovers, friends, parties, domestic rooms and moments of violence or vulnerability into a diaristic account of a social world rather than an external documentary study. Later books such as The Other Side focus on transgender friends and performers, while exhibitions and publications continue to revisit memory, loss and community. Goldin's work is personal, immediate and often sexually explicit, with sequencing creating relationships between images across time. The strongest marketplace links are autobiographical photography, queer visual culture and documentary art. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is the essential starting point for understanding her combination of intimacy, repetition and lived social history. Read more Less
