This Will Not End Well is the first exhibition devoted to Nan Goldin’s work as a filmmaker. The Italian edition brings together the largest collection of her slideshows ever shown in one place, including two additional works, presented for the first time in a European museum context, alongside a newly commissioned immersive sound installation that amplifies the emotional power of Goldin’s pieces.

The retrospective unfolds within a series of unique structures designed by architect Hala Wardé, a long-time collaborator of Goldin. Each building responds to a specific work, and together they form a village-like environment. While the exhibition’s title, This Will Not End Well, might appear somber and ominous, it also conveys irony, warmth, and a sense of resilience. It reflects Goldin’s unmistakable, unyielding joie de vivre.
