Bohmer Lokken – Dry-eye-dripping-stone

A couple of years ago Løkkens daughter, due to a tumor around the optic nerve, lost sight in one eye. With this as a backdrop, Løkken was lead to rethink her stand as a photographer. She started to investigate the presence of both the optical and haptic gaze within her photography. In a caring and playful way she has strived to merge a recognizable bodily experience of texture and tactility with a more traditional semiotic visual narrative. The book is printed on 60 g paper, making the images bleed from one side to another and melt together into new previously unseen imagery. This leaves the viewer with a multilayered sight much like visual memories stored inside us.
