Älskling is a particularly unqiue self-portrait: Jenny Rova shows herself the way her ex-boyfriends pictured her. The 54 photographs in the book were taken by nine former partners of hers over the past 25 years. The images are in chronological order and can be seen as biographical work, recounting parts of the artist’s life since the age of 19.
