Summary:
The American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981) spent a brief portion of her childhood in the countryside around Florence, living with her parents in an old farm whose dilapidated interiors were later to influence the backdrops of her mesmerizing self-portraits. In 1977 she returned to Italy, studying in Rome on a year-long RISD honors program. During this tenure, Woodman found five tattered school exercise books, printed in 1906, side-stapled and inscribed in fine cursive penmanship with notes from physics lectures or poems in English and Italian. To these evocative objects, Woodman--already fully formed as the photographer we recognize and admire today--added her characteristic black-and-white photographs, either as small paper prints or as prints made on transparent film that allows the writing beneath to show through, further embellishing them with her own captions or remarks. This facsimile edition of one of these notebooks was selected for publication by Woodman's mother and father as an artist's book of particular beauty and revelatory content that provides unprecedented insight into the emphatically narrative logic of Woodman's photography. Housed in a lightweight printed box, it includes an afterword by George Woodman, Francesca's father, that contextualizes the work within the photographer's artist's book production.

Summary:
''Francesca Woodman: The artist’s books'' collects for the first time every page of all eight of Francesca Woodman’s unique artist’s books in one comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books which have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such as ''Some Disordered Interior Geometries''. The basis of these works is in tattered nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century journals and notebooks that Woodman collected from bookshops and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She later transformed these found volumes, attaching her prints, transparencies, and written annotations to their evocative pages. These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodman’s engagement with the book form.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage propose une plongée dans l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de cette photographe précoce et intense dont les photographies sont des énigmes visuelles poétiques et étranges qui, malgré la brièveté de sa production, n'a cessé d'influencer la création contemporaine. " Elle a 22 ans, elle a pleinement conscience du désordre qui l'anime ; elle cherche sa place, presque gouluûment, en utilisant quasi exclusivement son corps dans ses images, ainsi je suis toujours à portée de main, explique-t-elle, quand l'urgence de la représentation se manifeste. La décrépitude des intérieurs, les miroirs qui permettent de voir la face cachée des choses, les coins et recoins constituent le cadre de ces performances où un corps évolue, fantomatique et drôle, pour celle qui affirme ainsi des liens plus qu'intimes avec l'appareil photo. Serait-elle un ange ? La question la taraude. Elle y revient régulièrement : une créature invisible, en apesanteur, sans problèmes ni avec l'espace, ni avec le langage, c'est peut-être une solution.
