Jimmy Paulette and Tabboo! in the bathroom, NYC

This vibrant dye destruction print by Nan Goldin captures two figures, Jimmy Paulette and Tabboo!, in the intimate and unglamorous setting of a New York City bathroom. With her signature snapshot aesthetic, Goldin bathes the scene in raw, saturated color, blurring the line between documentation and portraiture. The image reflects her unflinching exploration of identity, community, and queer subculture in 1980s New York.
