Abstract [en]

Gjenskinn is a graphic novel about feeling stuck, and the attempt to walk it off. The comic follows the young student Mia as she leaves her apartment around midnight to go buy snacks, ending up on a trip that is both longer and more social than planned. 

Exploring themes of melancholia through excessive overthinking and awkward conversations, Gjenskinn tries to put images to feelings it's hard to put words to. It is a story about finding your way back (from the store), told with both humor and seriousness. 

Abstract [no]

Gjenskinn er en grafisk roman om følelsen av å stå fast og forsøket på å gå det av seg. Historien følger den unge studenten Mia når hun forlater leiligheten sin litt før midnatt for å kjøpe snacks, på en tur som både blir lengre og mer sosial enn planlagt.

Tegneserien utforsker tema som melankoli gjennom alt fra kontinuerlig overtenking til kleine samtaler, og prøver å sette bilde på følelser det er vanskelig å sette ord på. Det er en historie om å finne veien tilbake (fra butikken), fortalt med både humor og alvor.
