Jens' Hand on Clemen's Back" by Nan Goldin is a large format silkscreen limited print edition of 100. This chapter was hard for me to go through in the library, having people around me, watching me watch other people being naked in a personal and intimate moment. C. in 1953, the artist spent her early childhood in a typical residential neighborhood of the great American suburbs.

In “First Love”, we see different moments of desire and tenderness in the life of her young nephew and his first lover ( Simon and Jessica on the Metro, Paris, 2001; Simon and Jessica Kissing in my Shower, Paris, 2001; etc.Each is signed and numbered by Nan Goldin and comes with a special edition of The Devil's Playground that is beautifully bound, also individually signed and bound, signed and numbered. while “Mon am'” portrays another more mature couple of friends, with occasional apparitions of the woman’s child ( Valerie and Bruno Sex, Hand on Wall, Paris, 2001; Valerie, Bruno and Mel Laughing in Bed, Paris, 2001; etc. Since the early 1970s, Goldin has taken numerous photographs of her friends and 'family', which form a unique corpus of work. She has been mentioned several times in connection to my artworks (mostly photography) with the feeling that can be felt from the photos which influenced me to go take a look at the library in one of her books titled The Devil’s Playground.

Encountering the installation is a continuous emotion: the musical background is a collage of the eclectic music the artist loves; the projected images run along the wall in incessant fashion, from the photo of a birthday party in 1981, with Goldin seated in ‘her’ boyfriend’s arms, to other embracing couples, to friends who cry while they confide in Nan, to women in bathtubs, to people drinking: “It’s ultimately about how difficult it is to couple, says the artist, and how intense the need is. I don’t do that at the moment (who knows in the future), I create narratives based on those moments and emotions. This book is a special edition of The Devil's Playground that is beautifully bound, signed and numbered.At the same time, her art visualizes what characterizes personal memory and distinguishes it from the collective – the way we have of ‘filing away’ life in idiosyncratic fashion, like a fluid and changing universe of traces and details, and without objective relationships of scale among the various memories. Laid out in diary-like sequences by Goldin herself, the material is both courageously candid and affirmative.

This monograph brings to light both the sources of Goldin’s inspiration and her life as a prominent contemporary artist: she is internationally recognized as one of today’s leading photographers. She documents life as lived … It is fitting that the sequencing, which was laid out by Goldin herself, feels distinctly diary-esque: the profound insights often to be found in a seemingly abstract moment.
