One in Eight – Installation
Photographic works bringing together personal perspectives on breast cancer
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Behind this statistic are real lives and deeply personal experiences of uncertainty and fear, but also of strength, recovery, community and hope.
The ten photographs presented in One in Eight bring some of these experiences into view. They reflect the different realities of living with the disease, supporting someone through it, and navigating its impact on families and relationships. Through documentary photography, portraiture, and conceptual imagery, the artists explore moments of diagnosis, treatment, and physical change, as well as experiences of care, intimacy, grief, resilience, and everyday life. Together, the works reveal experiences that are individual yet connected and make space for stories that too often remain unseen.
Selected from more than 1,000 submissions to a global open call initiated by Fotografiska and The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign, the works were created by photographers and artists from around the world. The open call invited perspectives from people affected by breast cancer both directly and indirectly.
Fotografiska curated the project in collaboration with The Estée Lauder Companies, Vogue Germany, dasBuusenkollektiv, the Swedish Breast Cancer Association, Österreichische Krebshilfe, Look Good Feel Better Switzerland, and the artists.
Charity Posters
All displayed artworks can be purchased as charity posters through the Fotografiska Online Store. With each print, art becomes impact: net proceeds from its sale are donated to local breast cancer charities.
