Heavy Books is proud to launch A Tear for Someone Undeserving by Norwegian artist Sunniva Hestenes at Fotobokfestival Oslo running until September 15.
A Tear for Someone Undeserving is inspired by the sudden death of the artist’s mother and invites us on an introspective visual journey through archival photos and other documentation from Hestenes’ childhood. With the book, Hestenes explores their own complex family relationships and emotional landscapes. Each image serves as a reminder of the journey towards acceptance in Hestenes’ struggle with the complexity of grief. The pictures foretell the tragedy, document funeral rituals, and provide glimpses into a relationship that will forever remain unchanged.
Hestenes is curently showing the project at in Copenhagen.
