I visited Victoria Miro's exhibition of work by Francesca Woodman 'drawn from her recent retrospective which opened in 2009 at Espacio AV, Murcia, touring to SMS Contemporanea, Siena and the Palazzo della Ragione, Milan in 2010.'
Woodman started taking photographs aged 13, using a camera bought as a gift, she features in most of her photographs. She is 'both the subject and the object'...
subjectnoun |ˈsəbjəkt|1 a person or thing that is being discussed, described, or dealt with : I've said all there is to be said on the subject | he's the subject of a major new biography.• a person or circumstance giving rise to a specified feeling, response, or action : the incident was the subject of international condemnation.
objectnoun |ˈäbjəkt|1 a material thing that can be seen and touched :he was dragging a large object | small objects such as shells.• Philosophy a thing external to the thinking mind or subject.2 a person or thing to which a specified action or feeling is directed : disease became the object of investigation.• a goal or purpose : the institute was openedwith the object of promoting scientific study.
...I see the subject as being the main focus of the photo and the object as a surrounding element in the photo
