"Gender is the last bastion of civilization as we know it. One of the few Titanics left to us at millenium's edge. I'm an iceberg. A bomb in the Boy's Club. Tick Tock. Tick Tock!"

When the punk rebellion started, there was a lot of gender troubles on the streets. Jordan, Sue Catwoman, Vivienne Westwood, Toyah Willcox, The Slits, Siouxsie, Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and many other women and other people started a real sexual revolution in rock music.

"Misty & Jimmy Paulette in a taxi", NYC 1991

The pictures of these beautiful creatures are made by Nan Goldin.
The picture above may be my favourite photograph in history (!): thank you Nan Goldin, thank you Misty & Jimmy!!!

You can also get a beautiful book:
Nan Goldin - The Other Side (Scalo, Zürich-Berlin-N. Y.)

below: "C putting on her make-up at Second Tip", Bangkok 1992;
"Cookie's and Vittorio's Wedding, the ring", NYC 1986
 

In the course of the 1980's, AIDS related illnesses and drug and alcohol addiction killed a large number of Goldin's friends. The violence of her own life, which was reflected in her photographs, has made way in the course of the 1990's for a more subtle, quieter form of photography
