Self portrait

Here, the work by Francesca WOODMAN is read for the first time in the context of the photographic 'Tableaux Vivant'. She used her body as a medium & as an actor and devoted herself to two with femininity associated genres: female nude and 'living image'.

'Francesca Woodman: The Artist's Books' brings together all pages of her artist books in one book. The books convey her sophisticated relationship to narrative & sequence and offer a new understanding of the breadth of her engagement with the book format.

The out-of-print photo volume, 'Francesca Woodman: Portrait of a Reputation', explores how the young artist found her creativity and unique approach to photography. The works range from studio portraits to self-portraits in the idyllic Colorado landscape.
