Laying Out

This photographic work was created during a series of evenings in Zurich, Switzerland, in spring 2017. The pictures show self-made, temporal sculptures made of resident’s card waste. Making sculptures out of card waste without any aid such as adhesive tape or strings is the main concept of this work. It contains 8 photographs on baryta paper (65x43cm), mounted on black MDF panels. “Laying out” was awarded third place by the Swiss Young Talent Award in summer 2017.

Photographer

Lucas Ziegler

Lucas Ziegler, born 1978, is a swiss-based photographer, who has recently finished the art school ZHdK in Zurich. During his studies he started to pursuit his own long-term projects. Also he has started to photograph for several indie magazines. In his work, he focuses on faces but also objects, such as empty paperback-boxes in the city's streets and lumps of dirty snow underneath travel buses. What has started as a childish game with every day objects or empty places, reveals a close look at habits and behaviours – a look into how we consume, love and move forward. Faces, materials, interactions, that’s what catches Lucas Zieglers interest and lets him study topics and things over a long period of time, until he is satisfied with the examination of those objects, or gets bored.
