Francesca Woodman was a young artist who used black and white photos to show the female body, some where she was still in the frame and some moving in or out of the frame giving a sense of her identity being present and fleeting. Some of her photos are completely bold and tell us that she had a full sense of who she was as a person. Some of her photos seem less confident and less sure of herself, showing signs of self doubt. Each of these versions of herself show her humanity.
When she uses her own body in these photos, she uses each different part of her body in a new way, to show things of play in her body parts or to make a bold statement. The vulnerability in her photos shows a woman who was incredibly human.
