Empathy, experimentation, evolution

Lauren Borer is a Swiss-American nomadic visual artist and photographer. Her work explores the nuances of perception, investigating how we see, interpret, and emotionally respond to descriptive language. Through alternate processes, medium experimentation and sensory awareness, she uses photography as a tool to question the well established frameworks of looking—both within the medium, the self, and the broader field of visual art. Lauren’s images often serve as quiet dialogues between perception and experience, seeking not only to document what is seen but to translate the systems we use to define it.

Her current work focuses on defining these elements and exploring the shortcomings of institutional expression through her own documentations of culture, human experience, and the built environment.
