On-going collaboration with the Norwegian lens-based artist Ylva Teigen Aas.
In its essence, the work concerns itself with the representation of vulnerability and control in photography through an intuitive exploration of the perception of oneself in relation to others.
As a duo, we are interested in the gaze, in the historically loaded nature of self- portraiture as a tool to translate individuality into a new collective framework. We make duo- portraits to imprint our presence, darkroom printing subtle shades of togetherness to explore boundaries and authorship.
We work analogue because it gives us the freedom to process and time to distance ourselves from our frames. We are interested in how our photographs transcend us, and how the audience will interpret them.
