>C/O Berlin< brings to you five harrowing, no-holds barred slide-shows of Nan Goldin’s photography (ranging from 1981-2008); a visual diary and social exposé of a life full on the one hand of torment, addiction and misery but, through its intensity and abundance of deep and wonderful friendships, happiness and contentment. Credited as one of the most influential documentary photographers of the late 20th Century, Goldin’s personal battles with drugs and the loss of close companions to AIDS lend to her work a rawness and honesty that induces a feeling of the sublime, as the audience is taken on a voyeuristic journey of a life pushed to its limits. Her slide-shows with titles such as “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency” and “All By Myself” expose Goldin, through the fervent intimacy of her somewhat dilettantish photographs, not as a spectator but as a fundamental participant in her subject’s lives. The exhibition runs from 10th October (when the artist will hold a lecture) until 6th December. Address: Oranienburger Straße 35/36, 10117, Berlin.
