"In the works on show at Galleri K and in the slideshow video The Other Side, Goldin was photographing from the inside of an environment she herself was a part of. For a period starting in the early 70s, she lived in a community with a circle of friends who, according to Goldin herself, primarily consisted of drag queens and trans people. Goldin and her friends hung out together in clubs, on the streets and in the bedroom. She describes these friends as people who created themselves and their identities during an era when there wasn’t yet a vocabulary for their fluid gender affiliations. Goldin’s work from this period remains relevant today. The people in these photographs have paved the way for increased awareness of alternative gender identity and agreater extent of inclusion and freedom in this regard – at least in our part of the world. At the same time they represent a courage that is desperately needed in places where living asone’s true self still involves a great deal of risk. The photographs in “The Other Side” are powerful images of an environment and an era, but Goldin’s way of imparting hersurroundings also makes the pieces universal and gives them a certain timelessness. In the same way that memories live freely in relation to the chronology of time, Goldin’sphotographs are also effective beyond the time and place of their execution, and make the people described appear with an unbounded presence.”
