Nan Goldin: The Ballad Of Sexual Dependency

Nan Goldin: The Ballad Of Sexual Dependency by Goldin, Nan. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780893812362.

A longstanding photobook classic, and the work for which New York photographer is best known, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends and lovers collectively described by Goldin as her “tribe.” Her work describes a world that is visceral and seething with life. As Goldin writes: “Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound and physical presence, the density and flavor of life.”
