Liesel's distinctive montage photographs are exceptional. These visual stories reach into the past where clarity and ambiguity exist alongside each other. Constructed from found photos, paper cuts, magazine clippings and more, Liesel creates montages which she then photographs. The effect is to draw the viewer in and with the comfort of nostalgia, explore hidden meanings and forgotten memories.
Liesel Böckl was born in Kobe, Japan to a German father and a Japanese mother. She now lives and works in London.
