Tingen | Jenny Lindhe | Breadfield Press

Nominated for Swedish Photography Book Prize 2024!

För snart trettio år sedan försökte min storasyster Cecilia ta sitt liv på en psykiatrisk klinik. Hon var tjugotre år och hade under lång tid kämpat mot psykisk ohälsa och ätstörningar. Fyra dagar senare dog hon på intensiven. Det var det andra dödsfallet i familjen, tre år tidigare hade vår far tagit sitt liv på samma sätt.

I den tumultartade tiden som följde efter hennes död gick jag och min mor igenom hennes tillhörigheter. Nästan ingenting sparades, utom några få ting som fick plats i en kartong. Lådan med hennes saker har stått orörd sedan dess. Inför arbetet med den här boken har jag öppnat den.

Almost thirty years ago, my older sister Cecilia tried to take her own life in a psychiatric clinic. She was twenty-three years old and had been fighting mental illness and eating disorders for a long time. Four days later she died in intensive care. This was the second death in the family. Three years earlier, our father had taken his own life in the same way.

In the tumultuous time that followed her death, my mother and I went through her belongings. Almost nothing had been saved, apart from a few things that could fit in a cardboard box. The box with her belongings has remained untouched ever since. For the work on this book I have opened it again.
