Eden Jetschmann: Snapshots of Realization

“Oftentimes, photography is an aid because it enables people to tell me their stories while having their picture taken, so their personal engagement with me becomes part of that moment” – we are so happy to have Berlin-based photographer Eden Jetschmann among the contributors to our Spring Is My Love editorial series. Especially, since Eden’s photography is defined by the personal stories of people they encounter during their travels. “I find inspiration in people, their mannerism and their many ways to make me smile or laugh; they always surprise me anew by how they manage to express themselves or overcome hardships, existing despite so much ignorance and violence perpetrated by others.”

Using snapshots of moments to understand the essence of identities is a key element to Eden’s work, and in the process, their photography has helped them understand themselves better, too. “Funnily enough, my dream as a child was to be a boy! But this shifted in the last 25 years and photography again became a tool to engage with people who made me understand that it is possible to cherish both female and male attributes inside oneself, and to find the courage to name it and live more authentically, and at peace with my own body.“ Eden is part of Container Love’s latest special, Spring Is My Love, our ongoing series celebrating a new season with beautiful, new artists to discover!
