How to disappear

'How to disappear' consists of two series of self-portraits. In one, I test different ways of sitting in a single chair, in order to abstract the body. In the second series, I experiment with movement and long shutter speeds, in order to disappear into the wall. This series of self-portraits are created during the first shut-down of society due to covid-19 the spring of 2020. I was sick then for two months, but since I was not granted a testing I had to isolate myself. I also have Multiple Sclerosis and have since realized that I should have had the right to get tested since I am in the high-risk group. If I had been tested I would have discovered that in fact I did not have covid-19, but probably a treatable case of pneumonia. it is not the first time that I have the experience of not being taken seriously in the health-care system, and in these photos I try to express the feeling of being forgotten, being made invisible, and disappearing.
