Francesca Woodman took her first-self portrait aged 13. At twenty-two she committed suicide.

She grew up in an artistic family--her mother was a ceramic sculptor, her father a painter and photographer, and her brother an aspiring video-artist.

When she was 17 she started her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. Between 1977 and 1978, she spent a year in Rome, and after that she moved to New York.

Her work depicted her own body in space, typically delapidated rooms in which the use of mirrors and long exposures blurred and merged her body with her surroundings.
