SELF PORTRAIT (SELVPORTRETTET)

77 min

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE | Photographer Lene Marie Fossen’s extreme form of anorexia is at the center of her artistic practice, giving the young woman a tool to engage in the representation of her own illness. This haunting portrait reveals how she explores her struggles through her own self-transcendent photography. At once beautiful but undeniably painful, her extraordinary catalog of images forces the viewer to think beyond how we understand this devastating disorder.
