SUMMARY
Nan Goldin's first UK institutional show since 2002, "You Never Did Anything Wrong," will debut at the Hayward Gallery. The exhibition centers on two films that pivot from her renowned human studies to explore nature and animals. Part I, shot on 16mm, focuses on a solar eclipse and ancient myths, while Part II uses found footage from 1960s-70s nature documentaries. This shift, while dramatic in subject, maintains Goldin's consistent method of close attention and personal material, extending her characteristic empathy to the natural world.
