Because your head has been on the floor for a long time now
And if it starts to get any longer
There may be some major social and medical implications.

Touch the floor and lick your finger
“Touch the floor and lick your finger” aims to reveal the anxiety, isolation, and contradictions embedded in the lived experience of fear of contamination (germophobia). Each image in this series examines the tension between the constant desire for cleanliness and the overwhelming sense of unease that accompanies it. By focusing on everyday objects, compulsive washing, selective eating and touch, this project examines the thought processes behind seemingly simple daily actions, which can become ritualistic, obsessive, and exhausting when influenced by an anxious state of mind.

Congratulations to @__evavei . Shortlisted photographer of this year’s annual competition, dedicated to contemporary photography!
Present Griefs, Recent Disappointments is a process of reconciling with my teenage self using the photographic practice as a therapeutic tool. By visually poeticizing feelings of self-doubt, insecurity and body discomfort, I am reconstructing aspects of my past with greater control and agency as an adult woman. Τhrough reshaping everyday objects, I explore the ways that texture, weight and placement can alter an object’s purpose. My main focus is placed on commonly used symbols of girlhood and on the awkwardness of the body during puberty. Through this process, my aim is to replace feelings of shame with a sense of (constructed) nostalgia over that period.
Eva Vei’s artistic practice focuses on themes of intimacy and self-reflection through non-linear visual narratives. By integrating photography with influences from painting and sculpture, she delves into everyday encounters, seeking to express and enhance her understanding of the emotional landscapes that shape interpersonal and intrapersonal communication. In 2022 she was one of the Fresh Eyes Talents by GUP Magazine and in 2023 she was nominated as a Futures Talent by Void, Athens. In 2024 she graduated from Valand’s Academy MFA on Photography in Gothenburg.
"Indelible, Inedible" is a collaborative exhibition with Anna Schlechter and Johan Windle, based on the interplay between the performative and the situational 🤓
Super happy about this one, since these people are some of the most talented artists I know and two of my closest friends in Sweden 🥹❤️
The exhibition will be held at ADA, Gothenburg - vernissage is on November 19th 🥂
Thank you so much @adasweden and @goteborgsbildverkstad
