Rachael Woodson grew up in the United States and lives in Paris. Her work explores the subjective side of photography, inviting the viewer to relate to time-based media in an intimate and visceral way. The vast collection of photographs she has been making of her family for over two decades is a source from which she draws to converge with new investigations, often inspired by figures from the history of art and literature. Taking a haptic approach to image-making, she works with analog processes, reviving a photographic lexicon that recalls the medium’s fundamental relationship to time and light.
