Double-exposed nude photography from a master of self-portraiture

The work of Swedish photographer Lina Scheynius (born 1981) captures quiet moments of intimacy and hidden beauty, as if ripped from the pages of her diary. Raw sexuality and naked bodies populate her photographs, which often feature her close friends and lovers, and herself, as models.
In this latest project, Scheynius works with analog photography, double-exposing the film--first with images of centuries-old statues, then with her own nude body--using self-portraiture as a bridge across millennia. Both subtle and raw, Scheynius offers here a groundbreaking photobook for the 21st century.
