| Summary: | The ephemerality and evanescence of the female body and the suicide of Francesca Woodman (19581981) have given rise to the view that her art anticipates her early death. The present publication seeks to open up a different horizon. Francesca Woodmans photographs are considered in the light of a passionate mise-en-scène of the self: as tableaux vivants. The artists studios in the U.S. and Europe are the stages on which she establishes relations between the female body, her props, and the spatial ensemble in order to unfold a metaphorical visual language.0Exhibition: Vertikale Galerie, Vienna, Austria (29.1.-21.5.2014).
