FRANCESCA WOODMAN
Raised and educated between the United States and Italy, Francesca was an American girl in Tuscany, surrounded by her parents' artistic friendships. She then lived a stormy adolescence in Rome, where she drew much inspiration for her works. Probably her taste for bucolic and decadent scenery would not have come to light without contact with the old continent. She began taking photographs at the age of 13, in black and white, in small format and almost always with herself as the protagonist. Those images she collected in her notebooks and diaries she then imagined collected in a book. Nature (branches, forests, birds) and houses (walls, walls, windows) played a key role in the composition of her work, there was something sinister in that symbolic density, stories full of melancholy and sadness with her at the centre of it all. She only managed to publish one book: Some Disordered Interior Geometries.
