Hudsult (Bachelor Project)


“The longing for physical contact with other people. It can lead to a depressed state of mind.” This is the description of Hudsult or translated to ­english, Skin ­hunger, in the Danish dictionary.

Hudsult is a 70 page, 140x185 mm ­softcover book. Every other signature is ­transparent paper and 115g paper.  It ­contains the short story ­Hibernation by Kari Eiring, quotes from young ­people in Europe and black and white ­photography of skin. The overall theme is skin hunger and living ­in ­isolation during the pandemic.

By combinding long and short text, ­photography of skin as well as ­transparent and thicker paper, the book aims to reflect the state of mind many felt during the darkest times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Both the overwhelming loneliness and the glimmers of hope as winter turned spring and summer.

In this project I did the concept, photography, editing, layout and book binding.
The book can be found at Motto and She Said bookstore in Berlin.
