STATEMENT

Liz Lambert, born in 1993 in Luxembourg, holds a master’s degree in religious studies and is a self-taught photographic artist who uses her camera to capture and process her sensitive and attentive perception of her surroundings. Since 2021, Liz has been a member of the Luxembourg Streetphoto Collective. In 2022, she received the Prix d’encouragement of the Prix de la Photographie – "Clervaux Cité de l’image." In 2024, she was awarded the CNA X LUGA grant (Centre national de l’audiovisuel and Luxembourg Urban Garden) for the realization of her project “Transhumanz.”

« I am constantly searching for the unnoticed, the fleeting, the hidden aspects of everyday life. Where others walk past, I stop. Light and shadow, structures and reflections, people and their traces – all of this creates a visual poetry, a poetry of small things. In the details, the story is told.
My photographic work is shaped by contrasts: between closeness and distance, sharpness and blur, reality and abstraction. The images do not show the obvious but invite the viewer to look more closely, to interpret, to empathize. I rely on a subtle narrative style. My compositions are reduced to minimal, often fragmented elements. This gives my photographs a deeper emotional impact. I engage with my environment in a playful way. I abstract what I see and create my own reality from it.
Many of my photos are taken with a smartphone, because to me, the camera is merely a tool – a means to an end. It is my intuition that guides me. My work is rarely based on concepts or specific ideas; I reject the intellectualization of my art. I want my images to speak for themselves.
My photography has a quiet intensity. I challenge the viewer not only to see, but also to feel and to surrender to their own associations and interpretations. »
