Photogenic Spots

M’s Sleeping Beauties

A deeply personal, surreal art installation by Myrdin Sommer, built from a mother’s heart. This immersive journey through imperfection, vulnerability, and love may look mighty odd to some, but give it a chance. Maybe you can get something out of it; if not a good feeling, then at least very cool artistic pictures. We can learn to love what is different.
