"Midnight Milk" is a collection of works by Norwegian photographer Marie Schowold. Known for her long-term observations of relationships with family and loved ones, she quietly captures intimate moments and bodily sensations. Her approach of immersing herself in private spaces and carefully depicting the emotional fluctuations and unspoken sense of distance hidden within everyday life can be positioned as an extremely personal narrative within the recent trend of documentary photography exploring the intimate sphere. This work begins with her experiences of childbirth and child-rearing, and is woven around the repetitive and intimate time of nighttime breastfeeding. The presence of mother and child exchanged in the darkness, the sensations that drift between sleep and wakefulness, and the new identity that fluctuates within the private space of the home are all connected in a quiet tone. Starting from personal experience, this book quietly opens up to universal themes of intimacy and care.
