Until the day breaks

"Until the day breaks" is a self-edited and self-published book. It is a diary compiled of text and photography, of looking into the everyday towards threshold moments; The moments when you can glance at both ends of the medium, as a mother and an artist.
The photographs in the book were taken with a small and medium format film camera over two years, at the same time as writing and collecting the words. The line of thought is associative and interrupted and the photographs alongside it capture pieces from the flow of life.
The photography and the text, both in low tones and devoid of aura, seek to gain a grip on the day that passes, in fluid time, in the recognition of infinity versus the knowledge that everything is transient. Sometimes, at the golden hour, the objects shine and project pain. Sometimes being present in the current time and place is an almost impossible task.
The glance is like staring into space while contemplating the present and the hidden, in the free space between the objects, seeking to look beyond the material and discover meanings in the void. The connection between the photography and the short sentences gives space to the medium materiality, to the traces of time, to the human traces, and to distill the sights accompanying life as a mother into a universal and human poetics.
