BIO
Walking the fine line between voyeurism and participation, Lina Scheynius photographs scenes from her daily life in an honest and casual manner. Her photographs of friends, lovers, flowers, and herself critique the systemic notions of the passive and objectified female as they portray fleeting moments in a visual diary that represents the very personal and the current societal climate. Images like Untitled (Diary) (2013) demonstrate a distinct sexual connotation and purposely dignified nudity that conveys the female gaze. Her series, such as “Lust” and “Diary” (both 2009), take the viewer inside the intimate moments of Scheynius’s life. She has had a photography column in the German weekly ZEITMagazin since 2012. Although she has had some training in photography, she considers herself a self-taught artist who gained inspiration from her father photographing their family.
