Story

Those photographs accrued as part of a complex self-documentation. I count now 71 general anesthetics. I had my first, being one year old and had to go to hospital periodical every 8 weeks. With increasing age we reduced the operations. Nevertheless, I am a happy human being, full of love and never wanted anyones pity. Growing up succeeding well as a dancer and later on with my career and loads of travels.. fulfilling my dreams.. operations have become this natural thing.
The hospital is based in Berlin, a city where I haven't lived.. thereby I always go alone to hospital. This place is pure isolation for me, facing my biggest fears. opening up about this other part in my life and giving a better understanding of my mindset and who I am drove me to do this.
