IN YOUR FACE

explores the enigmatic act of self- representation through a series of scrutinizing 'double portraits' of Hjorth's family, friends and their lovers.

The misty atmosphere in these private, (un)conscious morning sessions are juxtaposed with portraits of the same individuals later in the day, when their self- directed appearance are presented to the public.

07.55 from the series won the 2005 Deloitte Award, part of the Schweppes
Photographic Portrait Prize
at the National Portrait Gallery. Parts of the series were also on display at the Royal Academy Summer Show 2006.
