Jørgen, a Mystery was screened on Tuesday, September 5 at Visa pour l’Image – International Festival of Photojournalism in Perpignan, France. Jørgen referred to his own life as a “heavenly hell”. On heroin, you’re in heaven, without it in hell. He has played his part on the drug scene of Aarhus since he moved there as a teenager and was first intrigued by the rush of heroin.
