Through photography and text, Gothenburg-based artist Matilde Søes Rasmussen explores her time as a professional model. After ten years in the role, she now turns to questioning her power structures, beauty ideals and objectification.
“Unprofessional” is a hybrid book that oscillates between documentary and fiction, performance and life, in which she uses her own body to explore the impact of these structures on self-image and identity. It is an attempt to make sense of a career as a model—as a constantly evolving character and as something that is constantly evaluated, bought, sold, and admired. Rasmussen decided to photograph from behind.
