Nan Goldin, very personal reportage

I saw his work for the first time last night in a debate on the new frontiers of reportage: she is Nan Goldin. American, 50, a hard life and a group of friends "stragglers" with which it must constantly be around to all the exhibitions and conferences to which it is invited to attend. She and her friends are the only actors of his shots and the interiors squalid and degraded where their life unfolds. Nan photographs of himself and all of them, even the privacy and secrecy of the meetings in the shadows of the bedroom. As a sort of photo diary incessant, the author abbondona any rule of composition Orthodox and often triggered tremors in the grip of alcohol or drugs: and, paradoxically, its strength lies here, in the rash and unusual, in step neutral and ruthless in its absolute sincerity. No filter is placed between the photographer and his, her absolutely, reality is a story that relates only to herself, she is giving importance to events, she is still frame by frame which reconstitutes the entire course of his life. Tortured and ill-fated love, funerals, alcohol, drugs, AIDS: with these issues has shocked the critics and became quotatissima acclaim as an artist and successful. Reassessment of the photo-reportage recall or innovative? The answer is all in "The Ballad of sexual dependence", his work more interesting. New
