| Nan Goldin Self-portrait in blue bathroom, London 1980 C-Print |
Nan Goldin's large and heavy photo-book The Devil's Playground (2003) opens with a few lines by the formidable Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) –
Nothing has changed
Except the run of rivers,
the shapes of forests, shores, deserts, and glaciers.
The little soul roams among those landscapes,
disappears, returns, draws near, moves away,
evasive and a stranger to itself,
now sure, now uncertain of its own existence,
whereas the body is and is and is
and has nowhere to go.
