Room One:<\/h3>\n

Room One focuses on memories, identity and reality. It began as an attempt to find a family member who has been gone for almost my entire life. His name was Leif. He was an alcoholic, and he was also my grandfather. That was all I knew about him. The only visual memory I have of him from when I was child, is of his hand holding a cigarette.<\/p>\n

Driven by curiosity, I’m now trying to put together different pieces of a visual puzzle to learn more about the story of my grandfather. What little I know of him is mixed with my own memories and ideas. This project is an attempt to dig deeper into my own family history.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8265″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Even though the family kept the alcoholism a secret, it left its mark on us. It is said that \u201call happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.\u201d (Leo Tolstoy)
\nOne can feel alone in a family where there is a great deal of alcohol, but that is not the case here. Alcoholism is found in all social classes and all types of families, but it is tabooed and stigmatising. By telling a personal story about an alcoholic grandfather, I want to examine both who my grandfather really was, and also how he has left his mark on me, on my identity and my family. As a photographer, I am interested in relationships and how they affect us. To what extent can traumas be inherited and shape a family?<\/p>\n

Room One fokuserer p\u00e5 minner, identitet og virkelighet vs fiksjon. Det begynte som et fors\u00f8k p\u00e5 \u00e5 finne et familiemedlem som har v\u00e6rt borte nesten hele livet mitt. Han het Leif. Han var alkoholiker og ogs\u00e5 min bestefar. Det er alt jeg visste om ham. Det eneste visuelle minnet jeg har om ham fra da jeg var barn, er h\u00e5nden hans som holder en sigarett. Jeg rakk \u00e5 ta et portrett av ham rett f\u00f8r han d\u00f8de i 2020.<\/p><\/div>\n
