Jim Goldberg, Fingerprint, 2021

Often considered the seminal work of American photographer Jim Goldberg, “Raised By Wolves” collects ten years of photographs, text, film, and installations into an epic narrative of the lives of teenagers on the run in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles in the late 1980s and 1990s. In FINGERPRINT, Goldberg shows many Polaroids belonging to the project, never seen before, which served as sketches for the photographs he would later take. The images are scribbled with text that declares the identities, challenges and resilience of these adolescents. Likewise, the text captures the reality of life on the street. Included in a slipcase, the 45 Polaroids create a fresh, intimate and fragmented account of this artistic production.
