Francesca Woodman: On Being an Angel

"The work of Francesca Woodman lies in the realm of still photography," Woodman's father, George Woodman, writes in the beautifully scaled and somehow tactile new release, On Being an Angel. "Nevertheless, her images using the formal device of a zigzag are anything but still. They are restless pictures filled with motion. The viewer’s glance is never permitted to halt and is urged onward to embrace sequences, consider episodes, submit to rhythms, and confront changes of identities. These images are less tied to the logic of 'presentation,' which is the core of still photography, and more the result of a choreography of images, an artful control of the irrepressible motion within them." Featured image is "Untitled, New York" (1979).
