£19 / Members free Tickets Witness the beauty and fragility of human, animal and environmental existence, in a major solo show by the American artist and activist.
Over the past five decades, Nan Goldin has photographed personal relationships, addiction and queer subcultures, forming an episodic autobiography she calls ‘a record of my life that no one can revise.’ These unflinching images transformed photography by closing the distance between the observer and the observed – snapshots capturing the intimacies of her own life and the lives of her community. This exhibition highlights four of Goldin’s recent films: Memory Lost (2019–2021), Stendhal Syndrome (2024), You never did anything wrong, Part I (2024), and the public debut of You never did anything wrong, Part II (2026). Memory Lost chronicles Goldin’s personal history with drugs and the darkness of addiction. Stendhal Syndrome contrasts intimate portraits of Goldin’s friends and lovers with classical art from museums, revealing uncanny resemblances. While the latter two works mark a striking new direction as Goldin shifts her focus from humans towards animal consciousness and the land.
