Every year people gather close to the city of Roskilde, for Roskilde Festival, the largest culture and music festival in Northern Europe. But even before the official opening of the festival grounds, there is a buildup for a week in the camping grounds. Two young girls who don't give a fuck. They're 17 years old and not necessarily too impressed by the whole Roskilde experience. It's dirty, and as festival rookies they've accidentally set up camp too close to the fence, where to many men go and piss, and drunk people go to throw up. On the other hand, this provides them with a laid back kind of fun: in the girls' camp, they've ended up using it as entertainment, grading the artistic impression of each poor fellow who vomits by the fence. Puking through your nose is a sure fire way to get a full 10.

Biography
In place of the traditional word attach the word “portrayal.” From a semantics perspective it may seem a subtle nuance, but in truth, Juul’s photography ‘portrait’ to describe his black & white photographs of anonymous strangers, Jens Juul prefers to is a collective visual statement ‘portraying’ the human condition intertwined at its most vulnerable points of truth. Blunt, almost savage, in their revelations and vulnerability, Juul’s images blur the lines between documentary, environmental portraiture, and fine art references.
