The Questionnaire : Lea Lund & Erik K by Carole Schmitz

Preview

In the city and at work, Léa Lund and Erik K are one and the same. She, native of Lausanne (Switzerland) and graduate of the ECAL, is a photographer and visual artist. He, often considered a dandy, was born in Lubumbashi (Zaire) and moved to Switzerland in 1998, he is a multidisciplinary artist, hat designer, and above all his wife’s “muse”. Their meeting is at the origin of an obsessive photographic work of which Erik is the only subject. Black & white images of an incredible density, heckled by scratches that could be those of a wild animal, give this so particular signature. If their creativity is always intimately linked to their lives, Léa likes to play with codes, which explains why their work is perceived differently depending on the place where it is exhibited. In Europe, they are considered photographers of elegance and architecture, across the Atlantic, in the post Black Lives Matters context, some of their images would never be shown and in Africa the artist is Erik, Lea is invisible although the copyright is shared and it is their photos.
Atypical and nomadic, with complementary imaginations, their life is like an artistic performance coupled with a love story or vice versa!
