Who is Lou?
Lou Vicious developed very naturally.
‘best vicious, Lou’ – I formally used this tag for street art and online presences. Over the years I continued to use this name for several little projects but without any consistency. The common ground of these projects is, that they are personal and go beyond what is generally defined as photography. They exist as the results of what I formerly used photography for –self expression.
This shows in different facets: either as model for other photographers, through self portraits, as singer/songwriter – and there is more to come.
I chose to put aside those
“mind made” boundaries through which I only restricted myself.
Lou Vicious is more than a name and more than a project.
It’s more than a concept and more than a character. It’s a synonym for the aspects of myself that need expression and that seek expansion.
Lou Vicious is intuitive and finds perfect order in chaos.
When I began taking pictures at the age of fifteen, to me, photography has been a tool to express for what I couldn’t find words – mostly I staged images// self portraits to create an atmosphere or make the idea I had in my mind visible. Very seldomly I agreed, when other photographers wanted to take pictures of me – I really needed to feel comfortable and trust the other artist and like his or her work. When Madrid-based photographer Juan Carlos Carrion asked me, I of course felt flattered but also agreed in working together, because I was impressed by his talent and creativity – besides him being a very sweet person to work with.
