Intimacy – in all its depth and truth; too raw for social networks, with the distinctive signature of Lina Scheynius.
Following publication of the boxed edition containing her first 11 photographic autobiographies in 2019, Lina Scheynius returns to JBE Books to publish the books in individual volumes: Opuses 12, 13 and 14 of the My Photo Books collection. These books are an invitation to witness the everyday, but also to encounter and transcend many formal constraints. All three books, including a signed print, are available directly via JBE Books.
With sincere honesty and an informal naturalness, Lina Scheynius captures scenes from her everyday life. In a revealing, voyeuristic approach, she documents intimate moments, private relationships or even herself. The result is a unique, deeply personal visual diary symbolizing the zeitgeist of our time, whisking viewers away and into the artist’s intimate space. The refreshing sexual subtext and the explicit yet gracious nudity of her imagery challenges conventional theories on the passive and objectified role of women.
Lina Scheynius’ rawest book, where urgency meets decay and where she exposes Eros and Thanatos together more powerfully than ever.
