Now screening in London with Gagosian, Nan Goldin’s film Sisters, Saints, Sibyls is a visceral meditation on martyrdom, mental health, addiction and rebellion
“So many families have experienced loss, trauma and grief; often they are never spoken of,” says Kay Pallister, a curator at Gagosian, who worked on the show. “Through this work, Nan bravely shares her own story of familial fragility and sheds light on how we might find our own families and tribes in life – those who may become our saviours.
”� The film, like much of Goldin’s other work, is in memory of her sister Barbara, and is dedicated to “all our sisters who have committed suicide or been institutionalised for their rebellion”. Barbara, as Goldin makes clear, taught her so much about how to live a passionate and truthful life. “Like any great artwork, Sisters, Saints, Sibyls will resonate differently for each individual audience member,” says Pallister.
