Résumé
Almost A Square is an essential resource for art historians, photography enthusiasts, and everyone who admires the work of American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981). Alison Dunhill's groundbreaking 2012 thesis was the first full-length study of Francesca Woodman's Artist's Books - intimate works in which the artist layered her haunting black-and-white photographs and handwritten interventions onto found objects like old schoolbooks and diaries.
This in-depth analysis places Woodman's handmade books within the broader context of 20th-century surrealism, examining how they echo and extend surrealist traditions. These intimate and revealing works extend the visual and conceptual language of self-portraiture, identity, and memory through photographic and material experimentation. Although Woodman's photographs are widely exhibited and celebrated, her Artist's Books remained largely overlooked until the 2023 publication of Francesca Woodman: The Artist's Books (MACK), a comprehensive, high quality facsimile edition which brought them to wider attention. Dunhill's study now provides a timely and necessary companion, and offers into their construction, meaning, and significance.
A vital companion for anyone exploring Woodman's legacy, the photobook as art object and the intersection of photography, text and surrealist thought.
