Yogo in the Mirror, Bangkok, Second Tip bar
A young woman gazes at her own reflection in a mirror within a Bangkok bar, her image doubled in an intimate and contemplative moment. Goldin's signature dye destruction print process renders the scene in rich, saturated colors that heighten the atmospheric tension between vulnerability and self-awareness. The setting of the Second Tip bar grounds the portrait in the raw, unfiltered world of nightlife that Goldin so frequently documented as both outsider and insider.

Artists in conversation
Larry Clark
American · b. 1943
Clark shares Goldin's unflinching documentary approach to marginal subcultures and nightlife, capturing intimate portraits with raw emotional honesty and richly saturated color tones that mirror the confessional vulnerability seen in this Bangkok bar portrait.
Anders Petersen
Swedish · b. 1944
Petersen's celebrated work at Cafe Lehmitz documents bar and nightlife environments with the same insider intimacy and psychological intensity as Goldin, producing close portraits of vulnerable individuals caught in moments of private self reflection.
Corinne Day
British · b. 1962
Day employed a similarly confessional and documentary photographic style to capture intimate female subjects in unguarded moments, using warm saturated tones and a participatory closeness to her subjects that closely echoes the emotional register of this Goldin portrait.
