Francesca Woodman

In 1998, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain was the first institution to bring the work of photographer Francesca Woodman to France. Spanning over 100 works, the exhibition retraced the rich yet tragically short career of this young American photographer, who died at the age of twenty-six.
The exhibition catalog presents her work alongside texts by authors such as Philippe Sollers. The world it portrays is intimate, strange and moving, that of a young woman who bowed down to nothing beyond her intimate bonds with the camera.
