| Francesca Woodman, from Polka Dot Series, Providence, Rhode Island, 1976 |
Precocious and tragic, Woodman made her first photographic self-portrait aged 13 but died aged just 22 in 1981. In her brief career she made some 800 photographs of great subtlety and originality. She appears in her self-portraits as an unsettling presence - sometimes vulnerable, sometimes naked and sometimes like a ghost in abandoned rooms.
