Hello, this is Rehan Miskci. I recently joined as their Digital Imaging and Photography Manager. I’m lucky to be involved with Francesca, Betty and George Woodman’s works on a daily basis and oversee any image-based needs.

Having been informed by both architecture and photography during my studies, Francesca Woodman and Gordon Matta-Clark have been deeply influential on my works and thoughts around how these fields intersect and eventually affect each other.

In her photographs, Francesca Woodman skillfully shows us how the body can become a conduit to interact with inhabited spaces. It almost becomes a constant dialogue in a new language that we understand really well.

Gordon Matta-Clark’s works, where he breaks, cuts and disrupts architectural structures in a meticulously intentional way, also does something quite unexpected to our perception of space, just like Francesca Woodman’s photographs. There, the body is present mostly as a trace.

I loved how Matta-Clark’s Bingo, which is currently up at the MoMA, speaks so well with these Woodman pieces. Gaps, holes, cuts, rips… notions that are usually not favorable in the everyday architectural lexicon, take on a whole new meaning in both artist’s work. And it’s incredibly exciting to be able to revisit their works over and over again only to imagine as if they inhabited the same spaces in different times.
