What an honor it was to be invited to exhibit at this festival ! I owe a big thanks to Nordic Light photofestival in Kristiansund and FotoFreo in Perth/Fremantle for this great experience. And to all the wonderful people who helped me all the way.

I also owe a huge thank you to DOF Subsea, who sponsored my ticket to Australia so I got to be part of this unforgettable journey !

Ten Years of Pain, book release and Exhibition 2003

«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.
