Artist Statement

In my photographs and installations, I use the familiar as a pathway to the unfamiliar. This approach enables me to investigate how shifts in physical and psychological perspective alter our perception and reveal new layers of meaning.

Taking this as a point of departure, my creative process integrates mechanical, photographic and digital tools to produce images and impressions that act as conduits for experiences that are not accessible through the everyday.

—Sebastian Lemm
