These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on January 6, 2024, during a show backstage. They’re not just ordinary snapshots—they’re moments frozen in time, paired with lines of dialogue from the script. The idea is simple: I take a picture, then write down the first line of dialogue I hear before posting it to my Instagram Stories. Somehow, the juxtaposition of the image and the words creates something unexpectedly artistic.
Backstage is its own little world—a mix of chaos and calm. The photos capture everything from costumes hanging on racks, wigs waiting on stands, to someone adjusting a hem or powdering a nose. The words add an entirely different layer. A line meant for the stage takes on new meaning when placed over these behind-the-scenes visuals. It could be funny, poignant, or oddly profound, depending on the moment.
Taken at our theatre in Stockholm, these photos hold a personal connection for me. They’re not just about the work I do but the magic of storytelling and the fleeting beauty of live theatre. As a dresser and costume supervisor, I’m often in the middle of this bustling energy, and these pictures remind me why I love what I do.
Looking at them now, I see art in the mundane. The dialogue paired with the images creates a kind of visual poetry—a tribute to the unsung moments that happen backstage while the spotlight shines elsewhere.
