Pictures of Self-harm is an intense and frank look at the disturbing action of self-damage and the social response to it.
Pictures of Self-Harm was produced out of a five year exploration by Crossing Communities Art Project, artists, sociologists, prison guards, the Elizabeth Fry Society, medical practitioners, and women who self-harm. The women in the project used video cameras to portray and reflect on their drug addictions, cutting, the sex trade/sexual exploitation, and eating disorders. They give us an unblinking look at what is more often seen as shocking and more commonly responded to with denial. They pose direct questions to people on the street about public perceptions of self-harm and its place in our society.
