Exhibition organized by Moderna Museet in collaboration with Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milano, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin and Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais, Paris.
Icon of contemporary photography, Nan Goldin is exhibited as a filmmaker. The Grand Palais presents the first retrospective in France devoted to her videos and slideshows, which the artist describes as “films made up of stills”. An intimate journey through her life, her friendships, her loves, and her struggles.
Nan Goldin (born in Washington D.C. in 1953) is recognized as a major artist who has revolutionized contemporary photography and visual culture of our time.
From 1979 to the present, she has produced numerous slideshows from thousands of photographs she has taken of her everyday life, her close circle, their intimacy, and family events. Her narratives, drawn from her own experience, explore themes such as childhood, gender, violence and drug addiction. Raw and intimate, the stories she reveals stand as universal tales of love and loss.
