Surgery No.II - Limited Edition of 8 Photograph

About The Artwork

Archival Pigment Print from the project "Body as a Negative. Sensations of Return". In my performative and therapeutic process of dealing with memories and tensions written in the body, photography takes a crucial role. I was an inter-organ tumor patient, one of 300 cases worldwide, where science had few answers to the cause and how to proceed. This experience of a patient being ‘on view,’ researched and scanned, coined my relationship with the camera and ways of seeing a human body. Medical experiences, especially surgeries, live as a photographic negative in my life, which henceforth produce images. Deep somatic memory is called to visibility in my work, externalised through the photographic surface. In „Body as a Negative” I replace the invasive surgical instrument with my camera as a receptive device to register, merge and enable a ritual of healing. It is this process of emphatic engagement that brings dimensionality to the body and self again, and grows a capacity to join with the suffering of others. From my work I than see my Father, supporting him through his own cycle of trauma, as he had cancer from 2016 to 2019.
