Photographer Martin Liebscher speaks about cameras and camping places, apparitions and transit lounges, cars and UFOs, Liebscher and Liebschers.
“At tremendous speed, the artist mutates from bar patron to beer drinker at the bar to billiard player, to rock star and to his fan (occasionally with camera). […] The imagery of Martin Liebscher is spectacular and humourous – an exception in the contemporary art photography scene. Nevertheless, his works are full of deeper meaning. They could be understood as an ironic commentary on the alleged authenticity of photography, yet they are more suitable as points of reflection on the current debate about cloning and the roll of the individual. Ultimately his self portraits are in the sense of questioning one's own identity.” (Anna Gripp in Photo news 6/03)
The lecture will be held in German.
