Nan Goldin: I Remember Your Face plot
"There is no distance between myself and what I photograph" - it is the life motto of the now 62-year-old photographer Nan Goldin, who still manages to cause a stir with her extremely personal, spontaneous and often sexually tinted photos. Growing up in Boston, Goldin began portraying her city's LGBT communities very early in her career. Once she moved to New York, she embarked on what would become her most important and influential work, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" (1986). In snapshot style, she portrays the subcultures of that time, which were dominated by drugs, violence and diseases such as AIDS. German filmmaker Sabine Lidl follows the photographer on a nostalgic journey through Paris, Turin, Vienna and Berlin. While traveling Goldin tells about her life, work, inspiration and obsessions. It provides an intimate portrait of a charismatic artist.
