Background information
"'This Will Not End Well' by Nan GOLDIN is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of her work as a filmmaker. Accompaning the retrospective show and tour of the same name, organized by Moderna Museet, Stockholm, the book draws from the nearly dozen slideshows and films she has made from thousands of photographs, film sequences, audio tapes and music tracks. The stories told range from the trauma of her family history to the portrayal of her bohemian friends, to a journey into the darkness of addiction. By focusing exclusively on slideshows and video installations, 'This Will Not End Well' aims to fully embrace her vision of how her work should be experienced.
Content
The photo volume 'This Will Not End Well' by Nan GOLDIN retains the presentation of the slide shows by showing all images in the same format on a black background and sequenced as they are in the sources. The twenty texts, of which the major part are newly commissioned by Nan GOLDIN, complement and deepen the intention of her work." (© Steidl Verlag, 2022)
