STATEMENTLucien Giorgis (2001, CH) is a photographer who lives and works in Lausanne. His work examines the photographic medium both in its materiality and in its capacity to represent and reinvent reality. By using a process of reduction, he seeks to eliminate any superfluous elements, creating images in which every detail finds its place, serving a broader line of thought. The themes he addresses stem from intimate and societal questions, hovering at the edge of autofiction. He is particularly interested in notions such as personal identity, self-expression, namely what individuals choose to reveal or conceal, social postures, and the normative frameworks that govern certain interactions. In doing so, he questions the mechanisms of projection, personification, and control offered by photography, exploring how this medium influences what we reveal or hide about ourselves, while also opening a broader reflection on constructed imagery. These reflections highlight the tensions between what is apparent and what is meant to be concealed. By confronting these dualities, his images call into question the social, cultural, and identity constructs that shape our realities, while allowing for a more open and personal reading.
