Luzia Simons

The photographs of Luzia Simons give the impression of being three-dimensional, their depth of field is surprising; the matte black of the dematerialized background strongly accentuates the wondrous plasticity of the flowers. Even cut at the edge of the frame, the flowers seem to float in a diffuse space without direction, without limits.

 

Luzia Simons stages her flowers in a unique combination of material precision, beauty and vanity. She deconstructs conventional representations of these motifs, such as floral ornamentation, patterns or decoration, elevating them to the rank of art.
