Luzia Simons (born in Quixada, Ceara, Brazil) is a graduate in History and Fine Arts at the Sorbonne University in Paris. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. With regular exhibitions in Europe and Brazil, Luzia’s works make it possible to experience divergence. She developed her own shooting technique, the scanogram – a way of looking at things without a central angle or focus where all details become heightened.

“In 1995 I started working with industrial scanners and experimented with everything that seemed suitable for scanning until I came across tulips – a common theme in baroque still life painting, especially in the Netherlands. The meaning of flowers depends on the cultural context of the viewer. I am very interested in the diversity and plurality of perceptions in relation to their different cultural heritage. Social identity in the age of globalization can be seen as a transcultural phenomenon and as a confrontation with Western colonialism and imperialism.”
