In June 2005 I cut off my shoulder-length
hair, leaving only a few millimetres. This was
an outward expression of the inner changes
I was going through. I then wanted to share
those positive changes and encourage
others to reflect upon themselves. I used
my hair as a sign of my changes and
integrated it into articles of clothing,
accessories and jewellery. These items
were lent to family members, friends and
people I encountered during everyday life.These artworks are also a vehicle for
removing what I do from the gallery space.
I wanted to spread my art to various places
in the world, the participants turning into
my gallery, reaching a different audience.
This book is a documentation of all of
the ‘hairpieces’ worn by myself and the
responses of the project’s 40 participants.
It is published in German, English and
Danish, as I use these languages to
communicate with the people in my life.
