LINA SCHEYNIUS

Lina Scheynius is a photographer known for her distinct, diaristic style. Her work captures moments of intimacy and hidden beauty, from nudes to still lifes and self-portraits. At times luminous, then hazy – always intense and thought-provoking – her images convey sensual experience with unflinching authenticity. Scheynius’s work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Zurich, Tokyo, Oslo, Berlin and London, and in group exhibitions at institutions including House of Photography, Hamburg; Centre de la photographie, Geneva; Somerset House, London; and the Foam Museum, Amsterdam. She previously wrote a weekly photography column for Die Zeit, has published nineteen photobooks and is the author of Diary of an Ending (Prototype Publishing). For The New Menard Press she contributed to the bestselling anthology On Being Ill.
