Lena Wilhelmsson - Mirror Selfies

I’m 157,5 cm tall. Too short for the mirrors in restrooms and in other public places, which have most likely been installed by men 185 cm tall. These mirrors just show a small part of me.

As a photographer I have always been fascinated by reflections and images in images and have always been messing around with self-portraits. This has made me wonder about if I really can live up to the demands I make on myself – if I’m good enough. Do I even exist? How do I fit into the norm, being even shorter than my little sister?

My self-portraits are about proving I do exist.
