Munich photographer Amelie Sachs has documented the lives of modern witches in Denmark and single women in Egypt. About finding underrepresented voices and the meaning of being a woman.
When Amelie Sachs looks through the viewfinder of her camera, she sees more than just the world outside. She recognizes herself, a reflection of her most intimate thoughts, emotions and conflicts. She can be found in single women from conservative villages in Egypt, in modern Danish witches, in those affected by a common yet largely unknown hormonal disorder from which Amelie also suffers. Together with her protagonists, she wants to make visible what often remains hidden in patriarchal societies: perspectives outside of the male mainstream.
