This is Parkinsons

Veibeskrivelse Nettsted Kontakt organisasjonen

This is Parkinsons "This is Parkinson`s" and "This is Parkinson`s Ten Years Later" is a project by Norwegian photographer Anders M. Leines.

In medical textbooks, as well as in the media, people with Parkinson’s are traditionally depicted as tiptoeing, shaking and stooping seniors with whispering voices and a staring glare, imparting the impression of an apathetic or asocial person who lacks empathy and is uninterested in taking part in normal social interplay. This image is of no help to the patient as it fosters prejudice.

For more than a decade, Anders M. Leines has documented Parkinson’s from the inside. First, he wanted to change how the disease was seen. Ten years later, he returned to the same people, and found a darker story about time and identity.

Meet the lovely Johannes from "This is Parkinson’s ten years later! Johannes was only 37 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. In this short film that he and I shot while we did the photography he takes us from being OFF to ON. I have to laugh every time I see the difference and the change in his face when the medicine kicks in:

I have had the diagnosis 16 years now and I am still doing good, as do many of my friends with Parkinson’s. For some the reality of the disease is extremely hard though and Heidi was one of them. She was the "cover girl” of "This is Parkinson’s". This short film is from when I visited her for the last time. Remember that every person with Parkinson’s is different:

What a week! My exhibition "This is Parkinson`s ten years later" was set up at the World Parkinson Congress held in the Phoenix Convention Center over the weekend, finishing just in time for a reception hosted by the Norwegian Parkinson Association. It was there that I accidentally managed to take a double dose of my PD medication along with a glass of w**e. Since I was already hovering above the floor after seeing how beautiful the exhibition looked, this combination sent me into the grand opening ceremony in the weirdest state I have ever been in. Even the ballroom floor was moving.
The following days also brought another first for me: never in my life have so many people come up to thank me. All sorts of professionals have shared their appreciation for the insights into the manifestations of Parkinson’s that these stories have given them. But what touches me the most are the patients and caregivers who walk up to me, grab my hand, and just keep holding it. That alone is worth every bit of effort this took. www.detteerparkinson.no/en
