Sexting is a project, where Sisse Stroyer collects sexual images sent by mobile phones from one person to another. Sisse Stroyer started the Sextng project as her visual project during a workshop with Kent Klich and Søren Pagter. At that time Sisse made a short book, which included a selection of the first collected images.

After finishing the first edition of the Sexting project, Sisse Stroyer took a leave from the school to be able to collect more images and finish the project. She went to the Photo Festival in Arles to present her project – and the final result was, that she was selected to exhibit at the Finnish Museum of Photography.
So, tonight Sisse is opening her exhibition which is a part of a larger exhibition with the title: #Snapshot.
