LEA KUNZ - La peau des amis

Lea Kunz’s (*1991) work is based on encounters, often with people close to her, sometimes with almost strangers, whom she invites to be photographed. In semi-abandoned interiors or in the forests that surround her house in the Jura, she captures collective and individual choreographies, as improvised as they are unbridled. The naked bodies and gestures of the protagonists are never explicit, neither seductive nor sexual, neither brawls nor rituals. Grace is accidental, confusion and awkwardness become liberating, and tenderness is met with loving brutality.
