Nan Goldin's subjects are inseparable from her life. She photographs places that have a personal significance for her, objects, self-portraits, and above all people that she loves. Goldin speaks about the members of her extended family of friends and lovers as a tribe who are bound together by "bonds stronger than blood-family bonds, because the family was bonded by sensibilities, political views, aesthetics, sense of humor, shared history". Goldin's art reflects her changing life situations, her ongoing relationships and lifestyles, building up into a virtual autobiography.
