The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the
struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends, family,
and lovers-collectively described by Goldin as her "tribe." Her
work describes a world that is visceral, charged, and seething with
life. First published in 1986, this reissue recognizes the
persistent relevance and freshness of Nan Goldin's cutting-edge
photography. Her lush color photography and candid style demand
that the viewer go beyond the surface to encounter a profound
intensity. As Goldin writes: "Real memory, which these pictures
trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound, and physical
presence, the density and flavor of life." Through an accurate and
detailed record of her life, Ballad reveals Goldin's personal
odyssey as well as a more universal understanding of the different
languages men and women speak, and the struggle between autonomy
and dependency. Over the past twenty-five years, the influence of
Ballad on photography and other aesthetic realms has continually
grown, making the work a contemporary classic. Nan Goldin's story
of urban life on the fringe was the swan song of an era that
reached its peak in the early eighties. Yet it has captured an
important element of humanity that is transcendent: a need to
connect. This new edition of Ballad has been printed using new
scans and separations created by master-separator Robert Hennessey
from Goldin's original transparencies, rendering them with
unparalleled sumptuousness and impact.
