Disko Bay is proud to present Vokseværk (growing pains), a new photobook about friendship and teenage heyday by the acclaimed visual journalist Mads Joakim Rimer Rasmussen. The book portrays the life on a Danish efterskole over the cause of a year.
Efterskole (literally after-school), is a unique type of optional independent residential school for young people between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. Every year over thirty thousand teens apply for the 241 Danish efterskoler and it’s now more popular than ever. In this hormonal chaos there is the freedom to learn more about yourself, and about growing up, growing together and growing apart.
