of Sexual Dependency."





Nan Goldin's photographs are intimate and compelling - they tell personal stories of relationships, friendships and identity, but at the same time show different eras and the passage of time. Themes range from drag queens and AIDS to the family and maternity. In her book "Devil's Playground" thoe photographs are laid out in chronological sequences like a diary.

being battered" -(1984)
