Laurel Lueders

Nether Realm

June 5–July 25, 2008

Laurel Lueders takes photographs of what constitute personal symbols, then weaves them together creating a map that can be followed by a public audience. Her work is deeply layered with overlapping and emerging images, and deals with history, political situations, and an underlying element of inner disturbance. 

In describing her most recent work, Lueders said, “I went around Germany and photographed archeological dig sites of lost cities, many of them 1000-2000 years old. I was fascinated by this cycle....a city built over a city, how cities (and also people) go back to the earth, how it is built and rebuilt....both in a physical way and also symbolically.”
