Nan Goldin and Thora Siemsen in conversation

In her interview with writer Thora Siemsen, Nan Goldin shares the artistic process and the inspirations behind the photographs and films featured in Memory Lost, the first solo presentation by the artist in New York in five years. Goldin reflects on Memory Lost, a new digital slideshow that recounts a life lived through a lens of drug addiction, and on her latest series of photographs, which feature Thora and were taken entirely from Goldin’s home during quarantine. She discusses Sirens, the first work she made entirely from found footage, and The Other Side, an homage to the artist’s transgender friends whom she lived with and photographed from 1972 to 2010. Learn more about the works in the exhibition, as well as Nan's political work during quarantine, in this full-length film.
