cross-projected looping slideshows
Flæsh is a series of photographs that are taken in dark rooms of two kinds:
(1) rooms which are used for different photographic practice and (2) rooms which are used for sexual practice.
The projected footage portrays a gloomy kingdom which is a hybrid of many architectural fragments and different interior elements coming from all the spaces that I have visited during the years.
