Images by Francesca Woodman. I am compelled to look at these images but find them repulsive because they seem so painful. Her photographic talent seemed focused on portraying pain. Maybe it was catharsis for her to take these photos. Was she trying to get rid of her inner demons?
Francesca Woodman (April 3, 1958 - January 19, 1981) was an American photographer best known for her black and white pictures featuring herself and female models. Many of her photographs show young women who are nude, who are blurred (due to movement and long exposure times), who are merging with their surroundings, or whose faces are obscured. Her work continues to be the subject of much attention, years after she committed suicide at the age of 22.
