“American photographer Nan Goldin works to produce an honest appraisal of often censored worlds of drugs, prostitutes, masturbation, intimacy, and transvestites, creating a powerful dialogue about sexuality.” - author unknown.
“It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them. The people are gone, like Cookie, who is very important to me, but there is still a series of pictures showing how complex she was. Because these pictures are not about statistics, about showing people die, but it is all about individual lives. In the case of New York, most creative and freest souls in the city died. New York is not New York anymore. I’ve lost it and I miss it. They were dying because of AIDS.”
- Nan Goldin, from an interview by Adam Mazur and Paulina Skirgajllo-Krajewska that can be read here.
“In Jimmy Paulette and Taboo! Undressing, NYC 1991, two men are caught in the midst of their gender transformation. Characteristically, this moment of exposure is presented with candor and empathy.” - author unknown.
