In an era of smartphone cameras we can all take photographs, but what makes an image 'great'?
Join V&A Parasol Foundation Curator of Women in Photography Fiona Rogers and Artist Rene Matić as they deconstruct a photograph by one of the most influential artists of our generation to reveal its power and significance.
The striking snapshot of drag queen Misty is a perfect example of Nan Goldin's pioneering approach to photography and forms part of a larger series, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency – a pictorial journey documenting and celebrating Goldin's 'chosen family' of Bohemian friends, drug addicts, the queer community, clubbers and lovers.
Exploring similar themes, but with a very contemporary take, Rene Matić reveals the influence and impact of Goldin's work on their own practice documenting their 'chosen family'.
