The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (2005) is a photo collection by the American female photographer Nan Goldin. Goldin is one of America's leading contemporary photographers, and is also famous for her collaboration with Nobuyoshi Araki. After losing her sister in her teens, Goldin began taking photographs, capturing her daily life and relationships with her family, lovers, and friends from an intimate perspective, as if writing her own diary. In particular, this book, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, which is a collection of works that directly express the diverse subcultures of the 1980s, such as drugs, violence, and sex, caused a great backlash and response, making Goldin's name known around the world. Goldin's photographs, taken with a feminine, vivid color scheme and an intimate perspective, are a mirror that symbolizes the era, and at the same time, they are poetic ballads that densely express the friendship, love, joy, and sadness that she felt in real life. Published in 2005, reprint.
