Francesca Woodman has become one of the most talked about, studied and influential of late twentieth-century photographers. She started taking photographs when she was barely thirteen, and in less than a decade created a body of work that has now secured her reputation as one of the most original American artists of the 1970s. Woodman brought an understanding of Baroque painting, modernist art and contemporary post-Minimalist practice to her haunting, sensual, images. Both in her work with models and in her sometimes disturbing self-portraits, she made a thoroughgoing challenge to the certainties of photography. Interested in how people relate to space, and how the three-dimensional world can be reconciled with the two dimensions of the photographic image, Woodman played complex games of hide-and-seek with her camera. One of the enduring appeals of her work is the way in which she constructs enigmas that trap our gaze. She depicts herself seemingly fading into a flat plane, merging with a wall under the wallpaper, dissolving into the floor, or flattening herself behind glass. She constantly compares the fragility of her own body with the physical environment around her. Fascinated by transformation and the permeability of seemingly fixed boundaries, Woodman conjures in her work the precarious moment between adolescence and adulthood, between presence and absence. This comprehensive monograph includes over 200 of Woodman's works - some of which have never been exhibited or published before - as well as previously unseen extracts from her journals, selected and introduced by her father, George Woodman. There are examples of her large-scale 'blue-prints', and reproductions of her artist's books, including Some Disordered Interior Geometries, which was published in 1981, the year she took her own life. An extensive text by Chris Townsend examines the influences of Gothic literature, Surrealism, feminism and post-Minimalist art on Woodman's photographs, as well as placing her in relation to her contemporaries, such as Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince. This book confirms Woodman's position as one of America's most talented and important artists since 1970, with a legacy lasting well beyond her own time.

This elegant volume presents more than 40 vintage photographs by the pioneering American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-81), many of which have never before been seen. These photographs span the creative arc of the artist's life, focusing on the varied thought processes, interests and influences that inspired her work. Clustered thematically, Francesca Woodman: Alternate Stories highlights previously unexplored relational contexts, drawing deeply on Woodman's formative years in Providence, Rhode Island, and Italy, and featuring previously unpublished photographs and archival materials. In the newly commissioned essay "Impure Alchemy," critic and novelist Chris Kraus explores Francesca Woodman's life via her work, drawing upon her journals and letters as primary source materials, and exploring the technical means and literary strategies that animate Woodman's works. Francesca Woodman: Alternate Stories portrays the artist's lasting impact on generations of artists, and offers a compendium of images, which, as Kraus writes, still "inspire new mysteries and questions. Cet impressionnant recueil présente plus de 40 photographies d'époque de la pionnière de la photographie américaine Francesca Woodman (1958-81), dont beaucoup n'ont jamais été vues auparavant. Ces photographies couvrent tous les aspects créatifs au cours de la vie de l'artiste, en mettant l'accent sur les divers processus de pensée, intérêts et influences qui ont inspiré son travail. Regroupées par thèmes, Francesca Woodman : Alternate Stories met en lumière des contextes relationnels jusqu'alors inexplorés, en s'inspirant profondément des années de formation de Woodman à Providence, dans le Rhode Island, et en Italie, et en présentant des photographies et des documents d'archives inédits. Dans l'essai récemment commandité "Impure Alchemy", la critique et romancière Chris Kraus explore la vie de Francesca Woodman à travers son œuvre, en s'appuyant sur ses carnets et ses lettres comme sources primaires, et en explorant les moyens techniques et les stratégies littéraires qui animent les œuvres de Woodman. Francesca Woodman : Alternate Stories dépeint l'impact durable de l'artiste sur des générations d'artistes et offre un recueil de photographies qui, comme l'écrit Kraus, "suscitent encore de nouveaux mystères et de nouvelles questions".
