Abstract

I have an old camera with which I have taken countless pictures of myself, often with amazing results, Edvard Munch states in a 1930 interview. Some day when I am old, and I have nothing better to do than write my autobiography, all my photographic self-portraits will see the light of day again." The autobiography was never realized, but the self-portraits have found their way to the pages of this book, which demonstrates the fundamentally experimental nature of Munch's photographic practices.
