Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"We all tell stories which are versions of history - memorized, encapsulated, repeatable, and safe. Stories can be rewritten, memory can't. If each picture is a story, then the accumulation of these pictures comes closer to the experience of memory, a story without end." - Nan Goldin

love her,
This review is from: Fantastic Tales: The Photography of Nan Goldin (Hardcover)
The photo of the book here on Amazon does not do it justice. It is bound beautifully and is very sturdy.
Some of her best and most important images are here-Christmas at the Other Side, Nan and Brian in bed, Gotscho kissing Guilles, among others-some I haven't seen anywhere else. The essay is also very personal. It reveals Nan Goldin more intimately than other books, exploring her intention to preserve the present by photographing...although ultimately, as she puts it, the photographs have shown her how much she has lost. The essay combined with the amazing photographs (printed on quality paper) creates an intense emotional environment.
