Still Life of Teenagers by Barbara Marstrand is a book that delves into the ways young people engage with the world through photographs of their homes. Centered around the teenage bedroom, the book offers a personal insight into contemporary Danish youth life.
Marstrand’s snapshots capture aspects of everyday life that we often take for granted or perhaps even overlook. Interiors, technology and everyday clutter fill the rooms with information and stories about the lives that unfold within and around them.
Barbara Marstrand (b. 1994) is a self-taught photographer with a degree in sociology from the University of Copenhagen. She is particularly interested in exploring people, places and objects rarely being portrayed, and which tell something unique about our culture and the present time. Still Life of Teenagers is her first book.
