'Jens' Hand on Clemens' Back, Paris 2001', 2004
SIGNED Color Photograph
Jens' hand on Clemen's back, frames Goldin's friends tenderly making love, in a moment of searing intimacy to which Goldin is privileged to bear witness.
Renowned for tender, honest, revealing, intimate and sometimes brutal pictures of herself and what she calls her extended family, Nan Goldin is so close to her subjects that they hardly remember she is there. Like a visual diary her photographs tell the stories of emotional turmoil, passion and peace. This image captures Nan's friends in moments of total self-absorption, moments into which Nan has been allowed after long periods of building up intense relationships and trust with her subjects, so that the camera is as much a part of the relationship as she is.
Goldin's pictures are both courageously candid and affirmative, documenting the births and deaths, the mundane and the ecstasies, the drugs and rehab of her life as a photographer, friend and lover.
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a 2022 American documentary film which explores the career of Nan Goldin and the fall of the Sackler family. The film is produced, co-edited and directed by Laura Poitras. Poitras said, "Nan's art and vision has inspired my work for years, and has influenced generations of filmmakers."
The film premiered on September 3, 2022, at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, where it was awarded the Golden Lion, making it the second documentary (following Sacro GRA in 2013) to win the top prize at Venice. It also screened at the 2022 New York Film Festival, where it was the festival's centerpiece film and for which Goldin designed two official posters. The film was released in cinemas by Neon on November 23, 2022. It received acclaim from critics and was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 95th Academy Awards.
