Images drawn from across Goldin's career exploring love, intimacy, alienation, and the blurred line between companionship and solitude. Published by the now-defunct Korinsha Press in Kyoto, this first edition includes a text excerpt from The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (Aperture, 1986). Courtesy of the artist, Matthew Marks Gallery (New York), and Parco Gallery (Tokyo). Goldin's raw, snapshot aesthetic captures her subjects in unguarded private moments with an intimacy that has defined an entire genre of contemporary photography.
