STILLE BEN

(silent legs) Excerpt from book

In 2012, I was in a fall accident, where I lost mobility in both legs. The book 'Silent Legs' takes place in a fictional parallel universe that takes place the second before she hits the ground. In this alternative reality, I allowed myself to stop time and freely dwell in a timeless universe where there is room to both be in the second, leave the accident and look into the future with both utopian and dystopian eyes.

The images come from my own large collection of journals, archive images, collages and forensic photography from the night taken by the police and scans of textiles, and have been used to create a larger fictional and poetic narrative.
