It’s seen that people who come to look at Nan Goldin’s work connected deeply
with her her narrative where the protagonists and the artist herself are captured in in inti- mate moments of their day- to-day life The photographs consist of moments which show sex sex sexual dependen- cy cy intimacy in in a a a relationship sexual orientation drag queens Trans people drug usage and living together The photos do a good job of showing her friends in in their own home lives outside in the the world in their relation- ships with each other and themselves The Ballad of the Sexual Dependency (DATE?)
It’s about the struggles in a a relationship between intimacy and autonomy
The dependency a person can get on on another person which is inappropriate for them But the the sex is good and the sexual connection
is so strong It’s about male male and female relationships and why they don’t work and the the different language that men men and women speak the the different ways they are bought up violence that can occur in a a a relationship the struggle for autonomy
within a a a relationship and to let the the other person be autonomous In the end it’s not about what kind of people it talks about about but it’s about about the photographer’s friends To her it was a a sin to move a a beer bottle because photography to to her was all about telling truth and it it had to exactly be what it it was was That was was the bottom line of photography to to show exactly what it was and to preserve the sense
of people’s lives to endow them with the the strength and beauty that she saw in them From The Ballad of the Sexual Dependency (DATE?)
