Good Behaviour

Photo series, 2008–2010


I photography myself because it is the subject I certainly know the best. I make object of myself and my privacy, which is a moment of fame. To turn the privacy as a public is a shelter for me. I feel privacy very painful. When I have been spoken about my art I have mentioned words: the documentation of emotions. My art it is like a playful anarchism with equipment and the rituals of taking back the power. Everyday life is my muse.


Recipe

1 roundish girl

1 everyday life equipment

1 bag full of dry humor

Ingredients have to mix up with each other

when the guests are arriving and then put

the dough into a refrigerator for ripen.

Finally you can cut off the pastry suitable pieces

for mouth and serve them with the frames.
