Witness the beauty and fragility of the human condition in a major solo show by the acclaimed American artist and activist.
Over the past five decades, Nan Goldin has documented personal relationships, addiction and queer subcultures, forming an episodic autobiography she calls ‘a record of my life that no one can revise.’
These unflinching images transformed photography by closing the distance between the observer and the observed – snapshots capturing the intimacies of her own life and the lives of her community.
Goldin’s extraordinary perspective, seen through the lens of her camera, invites you to understand how personal experience and political action are interconnected, revealing both the joy and sorrow that defines the human condition.
Marking Goldin’s first institutional exhibition in the UK since 2002, this long-overdue immersion rounds off the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary year.
