内容简介
Goldin charts the loss of innocence through barrooms and
parties on the social periphery of New York's East Village and
through the harrowing worlds of drugs and prostitution. The
Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the
struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends, and
lovers--collectively described by Nan Goldin as her "tribe." Her
work describes a world that is visceral, charged, and seething with
life . . . . As Goldin writes: "Real memory, which these pictures
trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound, and physical
presence, the density and flavor of life."
