Η «Μπαλάντα της σεξουαλικής εξάρτησης», οι φωτογραφίες -ορόσημο της Nan Goldin, εκτίθενται στο MoMA λάχιστοι φωτογράφοι έχουν έργο τόσο βαθύ, ειλικρινές και ασυμβίβαστο όσο η Nan Goldin. Έγινε γνωστή γιατί κατέγραψε την αγάπη, τον έρωτα, τη σεξουαλικότητα, την ομορφιά, την αίγλη και την παρακμή, τον πόνο και τον θάνατο παρουσιάζοντας τη ζωή της και τους ανθρώπους της. Η οπτική της γλώσσα και ο τρόπος που προσέγγισε την λεγόμενη «κοινωνική προσωπογραφία» όχι μόνο απέρριψε τα συμβατικά όρια του μέσου της φωτογραφίας αλλά δημιούργησε και κάτι μοναδικό: ένα καθρέφτη του εαυτού της, αλλά και του κόσμου. Το Ballad of Sexual Dependency - η σειρά ορόσημο της φωτογράφου-είναι η βαθιά προσωπική της αφήγηση, ένα οπτικό προσωπικό ημερολόγιο, το χρονικό της πάλης για την οικειότητα και την κατανόηση ανάμεσα στους φίλους, την οικογένεια και τους εραστές της. Η σειρά που περιλαμβάνει φωτογραφίες που τραβήχτηκαν μεταξύ του 1979 και του 1986 παρουσιάζεται σε μία καθηλωτική, μεγάλης κλίμακας έκθεση στο Μουσείο Μοντέρνας Τέχνης στη Νέα Υόρκη μέχρι και τις 12 Φεβρουαρίου. ―Μαρούσα Θωμά

Μονοπλάνα στην μποέμικη ζωή της Nan Goldin | Η Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών Κάποιες φορές στη ζωή μας μια φωτογραφία μπορεί να αλλάξει ριζικά και να μεταμορφώσει τη γενικότερη αίσθηση στην κατανόηση μιας ολόκληρης εποχής. Μερικές φωτογραφίες μάλιστα είναι γροθιά στο στομάχι, ένας μικρός σεισμός που συμβαίνει καθώς περνά στο ταξίδι του χρόνου, η αποτύπωση μιας μικρής στιγμής ιστορίας, γεμάτη με την προσωπική ματιά του φωτογράφου. Μια φωτογραφική αφήγηση κάποιες φορές τεκμηριώνει τον καταγεγραμμένο κόσμο μας μέσα από την καθημερινότητα πολύ περισσότερο φυσικά και συναισθηματικά από ορισμένα λογοτεχνικά έργα. Κι ενώ κάποιοι φωτογράφοι ισορροπούν ανάμεσα στο υπερφυσικό και το πραγματικό, υπάρχουν και εκείνοι που καταγράφουν με ωμό ρεαλισμό, το χρώμα, την οσμή και τη διάθεση που αποπνέει η εποχή. Αυτό ακριβώς κάνει τις φωτογραφίες της Nan Goldin πραγματικά μοναδικές. Αρχίζει από το 1979 να καταγράφει φωτογραφικά ένα ημερολόγιο, μια ωμή αυτοβιογραφική παρουσίαση. Αρπάζει και καταγράφει στιγμές αγάπης και απώλειας. Για ένα χρόνο έζησε σε κοινότητες και ανάδοχες οικογένειες.

Eric Valli Philip-Lorca diCorcia Philip-Lorca diCorcia (born 1951) is an American photographer. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Afterwards diCorcia attended Yale University where he received a Master of Fine Arts in Photography in 1979. He now lives and works in New York, and teaches at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.[1] Biography[edit] DiCorcia was born in 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut. Work[edit] Brent Booth, 21 years old, Des Moines, Iowa, $30 DiCorcia alternates between informal snapshots and iconic quality staged compositions that often have a baroque theatricality.[2] Using a carefully planned staging, he takes everyday occurrences beyond the realm of banality, trying to inspire in his picture's spectators an awareness of the psychology and emotion contained in real-life situations.[3] His work could be described as documentary photography mixed with the fictional world of cinema and advertising, which creates a powerful link between reality, fantasy and desire.[2]
