110,520 hours. Or 12 years, 7 months, and 8 days. That is the exact amount of days separating these two photographs - the first picture taken of me as a model in 2009 (Babybird) and the last picture taken of me as a model in 2022 (Sinner/Zalando).
The two photographs were shown 1369.19 kilometres apart at two simultaneous SWIT Platform group shows in Gallery FG2 in Gothenburg and Chippendale Studios in Milan.

About
After fifteen years of working as a professional model, I explore the commodification of the body appearing simultaneously in front of and behind the camera. My work moves freely between photography, publication, video, and text readings.
I have participated in residencies at NARS Foundation NYC, the International Writers Workshop in Hong Kong, GlogauAiR Berlin, AiR351 in Cascais, and exhibited at Kunsthal Aarhus, Oblong, and Centrum För Fotografi amongst others.
I hold a BFA in Photography from HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design in Gothenburg, and am currently studying an MFA at the HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg (b. DK/1990).
