Description

She wanted to stop time when she was ten years old and stopped eating in order not to grow up. Lene Marie Fossen rejected the linear progression of time that forced her to go through puberty. She chose to be open about her disease and found her means of expression in photography. Her unabashed self-portraits bear witness to an inner conflict and are both cruel and beautiful. Lene Marie Fossen sadly passed away on October 22, 2019; she was only thirty-three years old. The present publication pays tribute to Fossen as an artist, but also reveals the difficult path she chose to take - and that anorexia is a serious illness and cannot be trivialized.
