To Bleed or Not To Bleed

Postet den 2. desember 2015 av Helene Fjell

To Bleed or Not to Bleed takes you on an up-close and personal journey with Håvve Fjell’s internationally renowned performance group, Pain Solution. Covering the period from 2003 until 2015, told in the words of the performers themselves, and seen through the lens of award winning photographer Helene Fjell, this book is a must have for aficionados of sideshow, body art, extreme performance, and powerful photography.

Ever since my brother, Håvve Fjell, started the performance group Pain Solution, I have been photographing. In 2015 we made the bokk To Bleed or Not to Bleed. Hard work, hours of planning and many meetings!

The amazing feeling when we came from Merkur Trykk and the book is printing!

The book arrives!!

Postet den 6. oktober 2011 av Helene Fjell

«Ten Years of Pain» is the first book I made together with my brother, Håvve Fjell, based on my pictures and Håvves tekst. He founded the group Pain Solution i 1993, and the book covers the first ten years of his history as an performance artist and Fakir. The book was funded by Hertervig forlag in Stavanger in 2003. We had the book release with a Photo exhibition and performance in Stavanger kunstforening.
