Marie Barthelsson works with staged photography and has over a two-year period transformed her living room and local environment into a photo studio. Barthelsson has used the portrait studio's backgrounds, studio lighting and props to create different scenes. Barthelsson explains that the photographs are a kind of diary entry that recounts a period of perceived seclusion in life. The starting point for this series has been her own experiences and memories.
