Biography

Work sponsored by Kasper König, director of the Museum Ludwig, Cologne

The approach of this artist is avant-garde in the world of contemporary art. Erik van Lieshout focuses on an almost ethnographic vision of community / territory he explored with his camera. He has also staged with the same uncompromising attitude he displayed when he photographs the people and places he studies. His films do not constitute at all a story but offer a point of view at the time internal and external of the situation.
