Letizia Le Fur

Photography & Special Art Request

Letizia Le Fur graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and first trained as a painter. Her work centers on the depiction of beauty and the representation of a fantasized otherworld. 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. Winner of the Paris Je t'aime x Photodays Prize, the Leica/Alpine Prize and the Grande Commande of the BNF, she is also chosen as a resident by the Planches Contact festival in Deauville (2020), by the Incadaques festival (2021), by the Portrait(s) Festival in Vichy (2023) as well as by the BNP Foundation (2023-24). Nominated for the Niepce Prize in 2022. Her work is the subject of collective and personal exhibitions, in galleries and institutions. She has published four monographs with the publishing houses Rue du Bouquet, Filigranes Editions and RVB Books between 2021 and 2024. 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.

Mines de Rien - Grande Commande Photojournalisme - BnF

For her latest project 'Mines de rien' Letizia Le Fur won the award Grande Commande Photo à la BnF. She challenged herself 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 at la BnF.
