AF MICHELLE FROM HOXER

Omtrent 1000 kvinder har i løbet af de sidste 14 år afklædt sig foran Lone Mørchs kameralinse. Et udsnit af de mange billeder har hun samlet i bogen ’Embody’, som er udkommet i denne uge.

Jeg vil gerne give kvinderne deres seksualitet tilbage. Seksualitet er ikke et forbrugsgode eller en handelsvare

LONE MØRCH. FOTOGRAF

- Mit projekt handler om empowerment, fortæller Lone Mørch, som oversætter empowerment med det at være kraftfuld, ’at stå i sin egen kraft’, som hun kalder det.

- Det er en kraft, som kommer indefra. I en tid og kultur, hvor vi er meget styret af det ydre, følger trends, forsøger at være perfekte og få bekræftelse fra vores omgivelserne, så er mit fotografiske arbejde ironisk nok kommet til at handle om at få kontakt til vores indre kraft og hvad vi bruger den til.

Lone Mørch is an award-winning author, photographer. speaker and teacher. Born in Denmark, she's traveled the world, living and working in Europe, Asia and America—a path that has given her a profound sense of freedom and understanding of the influence of culture on female identity. Themes of female symbolism, archetypes and autonomy are central in her work as as she explores the crossroads between veils, words, art, politics, body and self. The founder of Lolo’s Boudoir, she's photographed hundreds of women since 2004, helping them transform their self-images and reconnect to their bodies and personal power. Lone has been featured in InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Photographers Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, The Examiner Modern Love, East Bay Express, 7x7 Magazine and in Danish magazines such as Femina, Nova, Kiwi, B.T and Q. Her own writing has been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Huffington Post, Magical Blend Magazine, Nepal Expat Magazine, Nyt Aspect, Nova, Samvirke and anthologies such as To Nepal With Love (2013) and Nothing But the Truth, So Help Me God (2012). Her memoir, Seeing Red, tells the story of her spiritual quest sparked at the sacred Mt. Kailas in the Himalayas, and her subsequent decade in America––as wife, woman and creative spirit–trying to make sense of her own relationship to the sacred, to personal power and the sacrifices required to live an honest life attuned to one’s soul and core values. It has won the Tanenbaum Literary Award, Honorary Mention at the San Francisco Book Festival, and the Bronze Medal in the 2013 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Unveiled (working title) is her second book. Based upon the past decade of photographing women, this chronicle of women's voices and images tells what the photographs alone cannot—that undressing is an act of shedding stories of doubt and shame to stand as a sovereign woman, free in body and spirit. In her prior lives, she holds a Masters Degree from Aalborg University in Political Science and Change, has worked as development associate with Care Nepal, team manager for the Kaospilot University and media producer at Ideagarden productions in San Francisco. She splits her time between USA and Europe. Learn more about her work here: lonemorch.com
