"The Artist's Books" is a collection of works by American female photographer Francesca Woodman (1958–1981). Woodman began taking photographs at the age of 13, studied in Rome, and worked in New York before passing away at the young age of 22. Using her own body as the subject, and employing long exposures, blur, mirrors, glass, and decaying interior spaces, her work explored the boundaries between existence and absence, body and space, and continues to be highly acclaimed even after her death. This book focuses on the artist's books she created during her lifetime, showcasing her experimental expressions by pasting photographs into pages of old books and notebooks, and combining them with handwritten words and drawings. Her attempts to compose photographs not as isolated images, but in relation to the sequence of pages and words, strongly reflect her delicate sensibility and original creative approach. This is a valuable collection that allows us to understand the depth of her artistic world from a different perspective than her representative black-and-white photographs.
