Eva Lauterlein : the fine line between verisimilitude and extraordinary

Apr 27, 2018 - Olivier Lovey

Eva Lauterlein is a Swiss-German artist graduated from the Vevey School of Photography. I remember at the beginning of my studies that her work had marked me a lot. She had been part of the “Faire Faces” exhibition of the Elysee Museum with her work “chimères” where she proposes to mix different points of view of a same portrait. The result is a disturbing vision that produces a feeling of discomfort. The selection I proposes is a mix of her different series that can be found on her website : http://evalauterlein.net

In her work, I particularly appreciate the fine line between verisimilitude and extraordinary. The first reaction you should have watching a photograph is to believe it.
