Self-portrait in the mirror, London
In this dye destruction print, Goldin captures her reflection in a mirror with characteristic intimacy and unflinching honesty, employing the vibrant color saturation and archival qualities of the Cibachrome process. The work exemplifies her documentary approach to self portraiture, presenting the artist in a moment of private introspection while maintaining the formal composition of the mirror reflection. Created in London during the mid 1990s, the photograph reflects Goldin's continued exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the blurred boundaries between public and private selves that define her artistic practice.
