Quatrième de couverture
As [Goldin] examines the bodies and body language of her subjects, you can sense her perplexed fascination with the Great Divide of gender and her yearning, as she writes, ‘to figure out what makes coupling so difficult.’ It’s a question photographers alone can’t answer, of course. But these photographs, like few before them, make you grapple with the sad and compelling weight of the question. ERIC LEVIN, People
Nan Goldin’s Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a beggar’s opera of recent times. Here were real thieves and unexpected heroes, and a sense that some things in life might still be worth a brawl. LISA LIEBMANN, Artforum
Ballad of Sexual Dependency is at once a diary and a soap opera, an unerring portrait of a particular East Village bohemia and a sexual taxonomy for the ’80’s. J. HOBERMAN, Village Voice --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
