This assignment was rather challenging and special, since my assistant Mads and I were forced underground! Don’t worry, we are still alive, but believe me the production day was very long and several vegetables got killed. Their sacrifice were not senseless or without a reason, since they all ended up in different casseroles after modeling in front of the camera.

Growing up I was always fond of the visual. I was fascinated by the skill of some people who could take an idea or an impression and make it last. Paintings, drawings, sculptures all represented what I saw as genuine artistic expression. However, I was incapable of drawing a straight line or replicating these forms of art that I admired. I became frustrated with not having a way to express myself.
I have to admit that I am a big fan of mustard. There are always at least three different kind of mustard in our fridge at home. Since the delivered products are very often left for us to keep after the photo shoot is finished, this was a very welcome assignment.
