“There’s a story of a four-year-old, going to a baby… The four-year-old said to the baby, ‘Do you remember god? Because I’m beginning to forget.’” —Nan Goldin
Happy Birthday to Nan Goldin, born September 12, 1953!
Goldin has been in the news a lot lately, as she leads a fight to hold the Sackler family – and the various beneficiaries of their largess – accountable for the dangers of OxyContin. It is therefore perhaps instructive to remind ourselves of what drives the often-controversial Goldin. In this video, Goldin discusses the inspiration and process in compiling her 2014 Phaidon book Nan Goldin: Eden and After.
