My interest in death and photography has been raised by a somewhat corrupt pleasure in dealing with things generally avoided, ignored or undervalued. I am interested in the set of crucial moments in life: birth, puberty, love, life, death and the thought of eternity.
On the other hand I love to travel around and experience first hand small groups of people whether it is my own family in Iceland, teenagers in Scotland or the inhabitants of Kulusukk, Greenland. I collect material, photographs amongst these isolated societies or social groups and afterwards mix these different places and people into my own narrative.
