Für mich
Germany

You taught me to be a butterfly just to break my wings
Für mich is an autobiographic project on the theme of sexual abuse experienced as a child, bringing together several media – photography, writing, video – and materials – family archives, destroyed images, self-portraits, etc. This is an introspective project with a wider scope as it is estimated that three women out of five have experienced sexual abuse in their life.
Für mich shows what sexual abuse inflicts on a woman through evocations of the feelings experienced, sometimes so subtle that they are difficult to describe.
