Lucien Giorgis (2001, CH) is a visual artist who lives and works in London. His work examines the photographic medium, both in its materiality and in its critical potential. Through a process of displacement and transformation, the image is extended beyond itself, opening up a field of reflection that gradually expands and takes on forms that exceed its strict frame. The themes he addresses most often stem from personal experiences, which he shifts towards broader questions relating to social norms, identity constructions and the ways in which individuals are shaped by social expectations. He is particularly interested in mechanisms of control, projection and normalisation, as well as the tension between the visible and the latent. These reflections open onto social and political concerns, questioning the ways in which norms shape bodies, behaviours, gestures and identities. Through staging, appropriation, the simplification of forms and installation-based approaches, his work takes the form of spatial configurations in which the image moves beyond its representational function to become a space of tension. The frontality of his works thus acts as an entry point into a slower and more layered reading, between appearance and erasure, the intimate and the collective, the visible and the concealed.
