In my own words
Something was left over after the exhibition that the walls could not hold: the women’s own words. That is why there is a book. Twelve stories, the same scars, and text where the photograph stops.
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 brought portraits and personal testimony together to speak about illness, recovery and beginning again. The photographs preserve the body’s history; the women’s own words give that history a voice.
