The Femina literary prize 2025 goes to the a Mauritian-French author Nathacha Appanah for La Nuit au cœur (Gallimard, 2025).

La nuit au cœur intertwines three stories of women who are victims of violence at the hands of their partners. Walking the line between strength and humility, Nathacha Appanah examines the unbearable enigma of domestic femicide, when the dark night takes the place of love.

Skillebyholm is a meeting place, a centre for biodynamic farming, education and sustainable development, and celebrates 50 years this year.

With four activities scheduled over the year, Skillebyholm aims to create opportunities for people to meet, learn new things, develop a space for reflection and, of course, celebrate!


You can find the full programme at the Skillebyholm homepage.


As I study for two years (2011-2013) at the Skillebyholm College of Biodynamic Gardening, I photographed the daily activity at the College during four month, between January 9th to April 30th, 2012, with one Polaroid image a day.

Twelve images are presented here, in anticipation of spring and the return of light.

Douze images sont présentées ici, dans l’attente du printemps et du retour de la lumière.
