Embody

Embody is based upon Lone Mørch’s intimate encounters with a thousand women of all ages and stages of life in USA and Denmark over the past 13 years. In her quest for a woman's complicated truth, Lone captures the startling interplay between the seer and the seen, as they encounter the light and shadow in their bodies, in themselves. Embody lets you be voyeur to her photographic process, to see through her eyes and experience the ‘journey of embodiment’ in yourself. The book sets in motion questions like: Who is the woman behind the veils? What stirs beneath the skin? What would female sexuality look like if untainted by cultural projection? Where are we still hiding, and why? In a world where the body is sold, shamed and legislated over, and artists like to hang it all out, Lone lets a woman restore her dignity and retain a bit of her feminine mystery. Most photography of women has been dominated by the male gaze; in this book women look at themselves. In his foreword, Phil Cousineau calls the book "... a healing vision for a wounded world."
