Nan Goldin - Couples and Loneliness
First edition, 1998, Korinsha Press, Japan
Couples and Loneliness is a photo book by leading American photographer Nan Goldin, filled with raw photographs of couples — intimate and apart.
Goldin’s work often explores LGBTQ, moments of intimacy, the HIV crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Goldin has began her photography journey by capturing the gay and transgender community, falling in love with drag queens. She admired and respected their sexuality. “My desire was to show them as a third gender, as another sexual option, a gender option. And to show them with a lot of respect and love, to kind of glorify them because I really admire people who can recreate themselves and manifest their fantasies publicly. I think it's brave".
Published by Korinsha Press including essays written by Taka Kawachi, in both Japanese and English.
