Heartbeat


less than 5 hours at Pompidou, i still got the chance to see one of the most memorable and powerful exhibition during the trip ---
" The Movement of Image "

at the dark little corner , i found the most touching work and
i finally met her (work) ...

Heartbeat by Nan Goldin is a series of slides portraying the intimate life of different pairs of couples/ close friends of Goldin ,along with the heavenly vocal by bjork. "Prayer of the Heart" is a soundtrack specially composed by John Tavener for Bjork.The soundtrack was sung in 3 languages Coptic, English and Greek with simple line: "Lord Jesus , have mercy on me".

Sitting there, i was moved by these images, but at the same time with tingle of saddness and loneliness...of being as the outsider , which is on the same position as the photographer, we are so vulnerable....



a work from her solo book " I'll be your Mirror".
