FRANCESCA WOODMAN AT THE VICTORIA MIRO GALLERY

Yesterday I went to a photography exhibition that it's being held at the VICTORIA MIRO GALLERY until the 22nd of January by American artist FRANCESCA WOODMAN. I'm finding quite difficult to describe with words the impact that her work have had on me. Her incredible technique, the beauty of the shoots, her self-obsession, the narrative, the darkness, the absence, the sadness... It was just amazing and inspiring.

A selection of a 100 small format photographs (most of them in black and white), taken between the early 1970's to 1981 that, I think, are completely relevant right now. An artwork by a talented young artist that sadly kill herself in 1981, aged just 22.

Her life and death has been the object of a film which won Best New York Documentary at the ninth Tribeca Film Festival, called THE WOODMANS.

It may be not everybody taste but still, I think that is worth it to go and have a look before it finishes.

Ole!!!!!
