Nan Goldin: I Remember Your Face

Since her debut in 1970s New York, the American star photographer Nan Goldin has elevated the snapshot into an art form and immortalised her close circle of friends, artists, lovers, bohemians and urban dandies in tens of thousands of photographs. Her opus is vulnerable and unpolished, and favoured by a unique intimacy between the photographer and her subjects. But also marked by an at times self-destructive force that is redeemed in the photograph. Goldin has never spared neither herself nor those closest to her in her photographs, which document the dramatic ups and downs of life in an unfiltered way where the act of immortalising those nearest to her also becomes the ultimate declaration of love. Come and witness the life of the charismatic Goldin, who was guest curator at CPH:DOX in 2011, and who lets us in on her practice and scores of anecdotes from her turbulent life, which is a constant source of inspiration - and fascination.
