摘要：This article focuses on Nan Goldin's Soeurs, Saintes et Sibylles , a piece which originated in a commission from the Festival d'Automne in Paris. Goldin mounted an installation in the Chapelle Saint-Louis at La Salpêtrière from 16 September to 1 November 2004. Soeurs, Saintes et Sibylles explores the life of Goldin's sister, Barbara Holly Goldin (1946-1965), and the way it opens new perspectives on Goldin's own relation to self-portraiture, self-harm, and institutional care. I discuss the installation itself and also draw on the ensuing book project (Editions du regard/Festival d'Automne à Paris, 2005). As Guido Costa writes, above all, “Goldin's work is driven by empathy, by the desire to share the other's experience”. I am interested in what this sharing means for self-fiction and for the ways in which Goldin, like Anne Carson in Nox (2010), may find modes of relating to a missing sibling through visual, verbal and spatial narrative. Soeurs, Saintes et Sibylles crucially opens perspectives on the ways in which the narrative of the self is always involved with “the necessary other” (Adriana Caverero).
