Biography
Nancy Goldin (born 1953 is an American photographer. Her work explores in snapshot-style the emotions of the individual, in intimate relationships, and the bohemian LGBT subcultural communities, especially dealing with the devastating HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s. Released between 1979 and 1986, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency was one of the photographer’s earliest series, yet it rightfully remains one of her best-known works today. The slideshow projected on a large screen is accompanied by the music of the Tiger Lillies. This London-based trio have a Brechtian-inspired style and the contorted faces they pull through their make-up match the images perfectly.
