Disencounters

After two years of feeling absolutely not myself I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, a hormone deficiency. Modern medicine can supply synthetic hormones but it took me more than half a year to build up to the correct dosage. The medication made for a time of extreme advances and many setbacks so that night and day felt completely displaced at times. When I got to bed Tone was long asleep and when I woke up he was long gone …

I decided that I wanted to document the situation. On the one hand side it was simply a good feeling to step out of the victim’s position, and on the other hand side, I thought, whatever would happen, I could dedicate these images to my partner for a patience that I myself sincerely might not have had with him! So I began to take a picture of his side of the bed when I went to sleep and one when I got up. A little over 80 days later I took the last pair of images for the series.

These images are not about my health issue, which is merely the cause – awareness was the effect, and that is, what it is about.

Below you will find 6 samples taken out of the last days – including the final set of the series, which Tone took of me/my bed side.
