The huge work of the American photographer, which is absolutely linked to her own life, feeds on experiences of her entourage, that she scrutinizes endlessly and without deference. Old age, love, death and suffering sculpture there some worried faces, who desire for being seen, in dazzling and rigorous compositions. Despair reigns more often than happiness, that is always fleeting and poised. The profoundly aggressive and indecent Soul of people is arrested by Nan Goldin in its inmost depths and it betrays ceaselessly the anxiety of the human condition.
