Shortlisted for the Paris Photo- Aperture Foundation First book award 2013 ‘Speaking of scars’ deals with trauma and memory. During a 3-year period, photography was used to process an experience that couldn’t be processed.

Despite the fragile nature of the images, the book expresses its brutal subject in a delicate way as it explores the complexity of trauma. The details of banal life offer up a world where things once seemingly benign become menacing; yet beauty holds resonance. ‘Speaking of scars” is an expression of the unspeakable, taking inconceivable events and transforming them into a visible language. “Speaking of Scars did not make too many “best of 2012” lists, but it should have… As a photobook, it is easily and most successfully pushing the boundaries of what can be done with the medium.” Joerg Colberg, Conscientious
