WHERE STREET KNOWLEDGE MEETS PHOTOGRAPHY
The Street Is Watching
Nan Goldin
Nan Goldin, (born September 12, 1953, Washington, D.C., U.S.), American photographer noted for visual narratives detailing her own world of addictive and sexual activities. After leaving home at age 13, Goldin lived in foster homes and attended an alternative school in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Suspicious of middle-class myths of romantic love between the sexes and mourning a sister who took her own life in 1964, Goldin sought a substitute family for her own blood relations.
