She considers herself a multidisciplinary artist, and shoots everything from visual content for brands and musicians to conceptual art photos. Using mainly 35mm film, her style of photography is often a fuse between the polished and gritty mixed with contemporary aesthetics.

To Be or To Become is a collection of photos that I made from 2020 and 2021 shot on Polaroid600, 35mm film and iPhone are a representation of femininity and sexuality from a female perspective. These images and zine are my way of reframing negative experiences connected with sex and sexuality as a young woman and taking the power back by showing women the way we see ourselves - pure, free, raw and natural.

With a background in dance, artist Jenny Marie Hviding Schjerven’s work melds experiments within the visual art field, mainly painting, performance and photography. As an artist, she questions the world around her through social practice, geography and politics continuously playing with color, movement, video, Instagram and other types of formats and platforms. She is interested in transforming her own experience as a woman into some sort of visual shape and expression. Connecting with others and documenting life in general, she is pushing the boundaries of what is expected as an artist. Creating spaces for women to meet and joining in this somewhat artificially created social happening, she joins them through the lense. Understanding that image making is just as much about exploring the social spaces and what happens when we meet has slowly become her main work.
