Misty in Sheridan Square

Nan Goldin was born 1953 in Washington D.C., USA. She is one of the most important contemporary photographers and winner of the 2007 Hasselblad Photography Award. Her most famous work „The Ballad of Sexual Dependency“ is a slideshow set to music and is still frequently exhibited. In her work, Goldin deals with sex, drugs, violence and their associated deaths. Her photographs are very private, often poetic and ruthlessly realistic and direct.
