Childhood

Adolescence is the subject of the photographic volume 'Bärenmädchen' (Bear Girls) by German photographer Ute BEHREND. She tells the story of a fictional 'Indian tribe' that separates its adolescent girls and draws parallels to our society.

'Tenko', is an intersection between the photos of artist HANAYO, mother of Tenko, and the mystical, sensual photos of Tenko's favorite children's book, 'Alice' by Hajime SAWATARI, one of the first books Tenko came in contact with during her childhood.
