On Francesca Woodman & Respecting the Dead

Meaning What

Release Date: 03/11/2021

This week Mason, Chris, and Sean consider the work of posthumously-celebrated photographer Francesca Woodman and discuss our culture’s toxic habits of deifying tragic figures, romanticizing struggling artists, and replacing basic human empathy with academic jargon. It’s a heavy one.
