C-print on paper; From an unknown edition; Swan-like Embrace, Paris by Nan Goldin, taken in 2001, captures an intimate and vulnerable moment between two lovers on a dark couch. Rendered in her signature C-print format, the photograph is steeped in the raw emotional realism that defines Goldin's practice. The subjects’ entwined bodies and intense physical closeness speak to passion, tenderness, and the complexities of love. Shot in Paris, the image belongs to Goldin’s broader visual diary that documents relationships, identity, and the emotional undercurrents of domestic life. The theatrical yet unguarded pose recalls classical compositions, but through Goldin’s lens, it becomes deeply personal and contemporary.
