The first two works in the Evidence series are taken from the family archive and were captured during a family holiday in 2005. These photos show the consumption of beauty products by the artist’s mother and the artist herself, documented by her father. He took these pictures as “evidence” in order to criticise the two of them and their consumption of beauty products. The intention behind these images remained unclear for years, leaving traces in the memory and physical well-being that are taken up in the works.

Evidence embodies a reflection on personal, social and cultural aspects of patriarchal structures and female identity. The work reminds us to think about the subtle backgrounds of images, memories and the influence of norms on the individual self.
