Description: | Ly Lestberg's enlarged photographs of arms and legs seem more like landscapes or independent objects than live, 'fleshy' body parts. Lestberg's earlier photographs of male nudes deal with an aesthetic, sculptural approach* in a similar way – the anonymous and ideal bodies in exquisitely composed positions seem more like marble statues than real people. “The delicate movements or poses of the models are always embraced by laboratory's general light or total darkness. There is no reference to environment or any dependence on it. The Man endlessly takes on new deformed positions in his sterile solitude, the pointlessness of the activity adding a sense peculiarity. A nightmarish revolving around one's physical axis.
* Johannes Saar, Men of Ly Lestberg. – Sirp, 25.IX.1992. |
