Francesca Woodman's Dark Gaze

Taking up the question of the disintegrative condition of Francesca Woodman's final works, Claire Raymond argues that through her use of diazotype, a medium that breaks down when exposed to light, Woodman created art that responds imaginatively to the end of the stable image. Raymond focuses on the theoretical and the curatorial issues surrounding Woodman's diazotypes, showing how they play the ephemeral and evanescent against the monumental and enduring.
