Nan Goldin: 'Memory Lost'
The film installation 'Memory Lost' is heralded as a masterpiece in the career of photographer Nan Goldin, whose work is raw, intimate and tender, often intertwined with her own life experiences and with activism. 'Memory Lost' tells the deeply personal story of the artist for whom drugs became a prison. By combining hundreds of meticulously selected still and moving images, accompanied by sounds, voice-overs and an emotional soundtrack by Mica Levi, Goldin creates a haunting, poignant experience. The images document a life revolving around drug use, addiction, rehab and relationships with other users, dealers, friends, and profiteers.
Specially for Le Guess Who? 2024, Centraal Museum, in collaboration with Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, exhibits 'Memory Lost' on 8 & 9 November, free to attend for festival visitors with their wristband.
