A photo zine publishing rejected photos. A project in collaboration with Lena Matrosova. The first issue was published in April 2018 as a zine for home-printing, along with a website featuring a how-to zine section. The idea behind sharing is scary is to look out for never published material from photographic archives. The project deals with the subjective / objective rating of one’s own image: What is a bad / ugly photo and can there be another perception of it in a context that wasn’t anticipated by the photographer? Furthermore, it is an exploration if “classic” rules of composition always play a role when it comes to a positive rating? What bridges the gap between a good body of work and photos you wouldn’t consider publishing? 2018, 128 pages incl. index, handbound
