Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Emmy winning and Bafta-nominated cinematographer and photographer Lukas Strebel’s work has been compared to that of Man Ray, Claude Cahun and Maurice Tabard. ‘Antoglyph’, his monochrome portraits in surrealist style from the 1970s, are due to go on show in London from Friday.
Strebel’s work is graphic, theatrical and strange. Viewed together the photographs form a dreamlike sequence of narrative loops and replays, which touch on deep subconscious urges, emotions and fears.
Born in Switzerland, Strebel built his approach to film through still photography due to lacking availability of film education. Their energy and fluency come as a result of the photographer’s particular relationship to both fine art and cinema.
Lukas travelled to Spain to meet and photograph Salvador Dali in the 1970s. Having been initially refused entrance Lukas gave Dali’s maid a copy of the photograph ‘meus volatus magicus supra Antoglyphum’ and asked her to appeal once more. On the strength of this image he was granted entrance.
Cruelly, on the day of the appointed Dali shoot Lukas was called back to Switzerland for national service.
