First published by Aperture in 1986 and reissued here in 2012, it collects Goldin’s raw 35mm snapshots of her extended chosen family: artists, lovers, drag queens, addicts, and outcasts orbiting the Downtown New York and Boston scenes of the late ’70s and early ’80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"1122\"\u003eThe book reads like a private slideshow made public — a sequencing of vulnerability, bruises, parties, loss, and survival, its rhythm close to cinema or confession. The colour is flash-hot and immediate, grainy and intimate. Goldin appears throughout the book, not just as photographer but as character — documenting her own relationships with brutal tenderness.
