Hi Mike,
Yeah, Big Bro' sure has a long reach!
Looking at the Francesca Woodman videos again last night made me think: she took herself out, but I womder what came first, the obsessive photography of self in such tight, limited situations leading to frustration and eventual self-cancellation from the question: where in hell to take this theme next - or whether it was a pre-existing state that, in fact, led to those photographs in the first place, rather than the other way around. I gather she wanted to get into fashion photography in NY but couldn't get very far, so might that situation have been the pressure that led to its own photographic depiction of isolation? I can't seem to discover any actual fashion work from her, or at least, I can't remember any - if she didn't actually shoot any for her book, then how in blazes could she expect to get such work?
Tortured minds... art is so full of them.
