"Everyone I photograph comes out of desire"

A Tate Modern, em Londres, homenageou a fotógrafa Nan Goldin no passado sábado, com uma retrospectiva em vídeo. A propósito, o "Guardian" publicou uma entrevista com ela, feita na sua casa em Paris:
"Somebody I used to photograph constantly said it was no different from drinking a cup of coffee with me. I mean it became an extension of me, the camera. (...) I never photograph out of hate, and I never photograph somebody I find ugly. Everyone I photograph comes out of desire. They touch me, or I find their face fascinating. And I don't think I've ever taken a mean picture intentionally in my life."
