We live in a world with a lot of pressure of being perfect. It greets us every day through status updates and posed instagram photos.

Britt Marie Bye is a photographer based in Harstad/Oslo, Norway.
Her work is rooted in the nostalgic and melancholic feelings of detachment and a distance from the present.
The theme of abandonment is strong in Britt’s photographic storytelling. Whether through photos of lonely desolate houses, or as staged tableaus in forsaken homes.
