Om mennesker, steder
og det, der former os.
Mit billede Abandonment er udvalgt til den internationale fotobog 100 European Women in Photography
2026. Jeg er desuden blevet inviteret til at bidrage med yderligere to værker, Afterecho og Light Remains.
Bogen udgives af Cultural Lab som en præsentation af moderne europæisk fotografi. Den udkommer senere i 2026.
Jeg arbejder med fotografiet som et kunstnerisk sprog, hvor lag, lys og erindring mødes,
Mine billeder udspringer af nysgerrighed efter at se det, der ikke altid er synligt ved første blik.
Den samme nysgerrighed præger mine bøger og foredrag, hvor jeg undersøger, hvad det vil sige at leve sit liv, og hvilken betydning relationer, opmærksomhed og ansvar har.
Uanset om jeg arbejder med fotografiet, skriver eller holder foredrag, er mit udgangspunkt det samme: at skabe et rum for eftertanke og nye måder at se verden - og hinanden - på.
Fotokunst
Mine værker opstår i mødet mellem fotografi, tekst og erindring.
Nogle billeder står alene.
Andre består af flere lag, hvor virkelighed og fortolkning smelter sammen.
Bøger
Jeg holder foredrag med udgangspunkt i mine bøger, hvor jeg fortæller om
de erfaringer, tanker og spørgsmål, som har formet mit forfatterskab.
Du er velkommen til at kontakte mig vedrørende billeder, udstillinger, bøger eller foredrag.
For International Visitors
I do not photograph places. I photograph what places remember.
My work explore the quiet traces that remain in places - traces of memory, human presence and lives once lived. Through photography and writing, I seek to make visible what is often felt before it is seen.
I am drawn to what remains after the visible moment has passed.
Through light, layered imagery and quiet observation, I explore how memory and human presence continue to exist within places. A room, a window, a landscape or an ordinary objekt may carry traces of lives once lived - traces that are not immediately visible, but can still be sensed.
My photographs often move between presence and absence, reality and memory. Rather than documenting a place as it appears, I seek to reveal something of what it holds.
I think these traces as quiet traces: small signs of human presence, time and experience that remain after people have moved on.
Photography, for me, is a way of listening to places - and of making visible what might otherwise remain unseen.
I am a Danish photographer, writer and psychologist whose work explores memory, human presence and the traces we leave behind.
My background in psychology and many years of working with people have shaped the way I look at the world. Rather than searching for the spectacular, I am drawn to what is easyli overlooked: a gesture, an emty room, a changing light, or the quiet presence held within a place.
Photography and writing ar closely connected in my work. Both are ways og looking beyond what is immediately visible and asking what a place, a moment or a human life may carry within it.
My recent photographic work has been selected for exhibitions and international publications.
