UNPROFESSIONAL - Matilde Søes Rasmussen
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 investigate the impact of these structures on self-image and identity. It's an attempt to find meaning in a career as a model, as a constantly evolving persona and as something that is constantly valued, bought, sold and admired. Rasmussen decided to shoot from behind.
