Cover of Awakening: The New Beginning!, the 2017 photo book by Norbert Banhalmi about recovery after gynaecological cancer.

In my own words

This book grew out of the Awakening project, and in a way it is the more intimate half of it. Twelve women who lived through gynaecological cancer, fifteen pictures of their stories, and their own words alongside.

With Dr. Magdolna Dank, Erika Elek and Imre Csernus we tried to give recovery a public language — because in 2017 nobody in Hungary was saying these things out loud. Artistic nudes and honest testimony on facing pages. Scars worn like jewellery. It is still, ten years on, the book people write to me about.

Contributors: Dr. Magdolna Dank, Erika Elek, Dr. Imre Csernus, Norbert Bánhalmi
