The Ballad of Sexual Dependency

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is host to Nan Goldin’s seminal documentary photographic work, her ‘public diary’ of friends, lovers, chosen family and even Goldin herself living in the gay subculture of a post-Stonewall world. The work spanned from the 1979–1986, during which time the subjects were captured “hanging out, falling in and out of love, having children”, and also tragically dying due to HIV/AIDS and addiction. Curated by Anne O’Hehir, the slideshow includes 126 of the almost 700 photos Goldin took, and is the exclusive Victorian showing of this pivotal work by a  icon.
