Nan Goldin

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.

Medium
