     ABOUT EXHIBITION

戈尔丁代表着被主流价值观所蔑视、忽视、否定的一群人，她的发自内部的、不避感情倾向的影像提示的是对某种被否定的价值的个人评价，她与一群自觉生活于社会边缘、对嬉皮文化持同感的年轻人过着一种波希米亚式的生活。她用自己手中的相机将这个生活圈子的各色人等的日常生活以一种高密度的影像记录方式拍摄下来。保持距离的客观性原则，积极介入对象、展开一种主观性强烈、充满私密性的摄影记录活动，体现了当代纪实摄影从“我替你说”到“我替我自己说”的变化。从这个意义上说，戈尔丁的纪实摄影提示了当代纪实摄影的主观性抬头的一种变化，她也因此被称为“私摄影”鼻祖。

本次展览得到艺术家本人、WestLicht利西摄影美术馆、 Blast! Films、严志刚先生、靳宏伟先生的大力支持，展览将持续到2020年11月24日。

Light Society (Beijing) is pleased to announce Nan Goldin, the first-ever solo exhibition of the renowned photographer in China. Opening on July 24, 2020, the exhibition will showcase works from the major phases of Goldin’s creative career, including The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, The Other Side, and I’ll Be Your Mirror. The Cibachrome prints featured in the exhibition are all originals from the 1980s and the 1990s and will be shown for the first time in China.

Goldin’s work speaks for a community of people who are scorned, ignored and shunned by the mainstream society. The visceral and unflinchingly emotional images she creates are her personal responses to values that have been rejected. While living among a group of young bohemians who find themselves marginalized by the society, Goldin uses her camera to document the everyday life of the inhabitants of this world, producing high-density images that are detached enough to preserve the necessary degree of objectivity but are also highly engaged, intensely subjective, and extremely intimate. Her work demonstrates the transformation of contemporary documentary photography from “speaking for others” to “speaking for oneself”, thus marking the rise of subjectivity in contemporary documentary photography and making Goldin a forerunner of photography diaries as a genre of its own. 

This exhibition has received generous support from the WestLicht Schauplatz für Fotografie、Blast! Films、Mr.Yan Zhigang、Mr. Jin Hongwei  as well as the artist herself and will run until November 24, 2020.
