Background of the artists
“Lotte explores the vulnerability of the body and the transience of life play an important role in her work, in which she always searches for the point where beauty meets confrontation.” Lotte has always been interested in portraying awkward bodily conditions, and experiments with double exposure photography, among other things. Before she enrolled in Project ‘K’ she has been following a breast cancer patient whom she, on request, portrayed before and after her surgery.
“Geert’s work is a poetic, melancholic and romantic version of reality. He encourages the viewer to use his or her own imagination. His work is personal and emotional.” He graduated with the project One Year which his visual representation of a year in his life in which three of his family members deceased and he was abandoned by his partner as well. The project gained much attention and has been published in book form as well.
Geert and Lotte both graduated in 2013 from the Photo Academy in Amsterdam, where they’ve met each other. They are active as freelance photographers who work on commission and create their own projects as well.
