Francesca Woodman

Cidade Matarazzo

Cidade Matarazzo
Sao Paulo, Brazil

Her self-portraits signal our first visits into the depths of a precocious, ingenious photographer. Though her work, created between 1972 and 1981, remained unknown during her brief life, she is now admired for her black-and-white pictures of young women, many of them naked, shot with a distinctive bleary quality achieved through slow shutter speeds and prolonged exposure. Many of her pictures are self-portraits—in which her face is usually covered—, though the presence of men is also not infrequent. Her rundown apartment was where she rummaged through her doubts and ghosts, bringing the imperceptible to bear through a game of hide-and-seek with nothingness. Absence, the invisible and the imperceptible inhabit Woodman’s photographs. OBRAS
