Letizia Le Fur

Photography

Letizia Le Fur graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France in 1998 and first trained as a painter. Her work centers on the depiction of beauty and the representation of a fantasized otherworld. Letizia Le Fur’s attention to color is very particular; like a painter, she mixes colors on her palette, isolates and transforms, corrects, adds, exalts the tones, amplifies them to transcend reality and creates this sensation of unreal world. In parallel to her artistic work, Letizia Le Fur collaborates regularly with advertising and press magazines (AD, New York Times, Milk …) and is Leica ambassador since 2019. In 2024, besides a collective exhibition at the BNF in Paris, Letizia has a rich line-up coming: a solo exhibition at the French Institut of Barcelone, the release of her book "Caruso", with RVB Books in collaboration with Belmond, during her exhibition at Photo London on May 15th. The next day, on May 16th, another exhibition opening ('Mines de rien') at the Centre Claude Cahun (Nantes) and the 18th another one at the Hôtel Fontfreyde's Art Center (Clermont-Ferrand). In September, her "Mythologies" will be exhibited at the MAP (Toulouse), and in October at the French Institut of Bilbao. Also in October, "Mines de rien" to be seen at the CRP (Douchy-les-Mines). Last but not least, as she won the "Paris je t'aime X Photodays Paris" Award 2024, an exhibition will take place in November, where her series "Le Beau Jeu" will celebrate the Olympic Games.

Mines de Rien - Grande Commande Photojournalisme - BnF

We are very proud and admiring of @letizialefur and her latest project 'Mines de rien' for which she won the award @grandecommandephoto at @labnf

Letizia challenged herself and went visiting various old uranium mines in France, the most radioactive places in the country today, equipped of her camera and a Geiger counter. A mapping of a dangerous and contaminated nature which highlights the contradiction of the invisible : photography may be able to capture beauty, but it can't show or tell the actual ongoing destruction, as only scientific recordings can prove the damage caused by radioactivity. As orange is the color recalling the uranium's one, she choose to accentuate it in proportion to the radioactivity level recorded at the moment where she took the photos. - Exhibition 'La France sous leurs yeux' From 19.03 to 23.06.24 @labnf
