Francesca Woodman was without a doubt one of the most influential photographers of the 20^th century, paving the way for other artists such as Sam Taylor-Wood and Cindy Sherman.

Her work focuses on her own body and her immediate surroundings. She is the main subject of most of her photographs and often used double and long-term exposures to appear in the film. Born in Denver, Colorado in 1958, Woodman was the daughter of artists George Woodman and Betty Woodman, and although she died at the age of 22, she has had posthumous solo and group shows at prestigious galleries and institutions such as Marian Goodman Gallery, New York, Tate Modern, London, and Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain, Paris, among others.
