About Lucas Foglia


I grew up with my extended family on a farm in suburban Long Island. Influenced by the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960’s, my parents maintained an agricultural lifestyle as malls and supermarkets developed around us. We heated with wood, grew and canned our food and bartered plants for everything from shoes to dentistry. At the same time, we remained connected to the electrical grid and, when I left for college, my immediate family owned four cars, five computers and one nonworking television.
Since 2006 I have visited, befriended, photographed and interviewed a network of people in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia who have responded to environmental concerns by moving to rural areas and adopting wilderness or homesteading lifestyles. My subjects vary in their religious beliefs and cultural practices but they all share a desire for self-sufficiency. Most of my subjects live off-the-grid, build their homes from local materials, obtain their water from nearby springs and hunt, gather or grow their own food. I am fascinated by the points of intersection between their ideals, the ubiquitous availability of the mainstream world and the hard work necessary to maintain an alternative lifestyle.

Photography by Elspeth Diederix

lspeth Diederix is an artist who is always on the move. Travelling for her is a way of life. Even though most of her photographs are taken in exotic locations, evidence of this is seldom found in her work. Purposefully she herself remains on the outside. Instead of being absorbed by the setting of her subject, she prefers to maintain a high degree of detachment. This enables her to create a sense of alienation and in her photographs she achieves this by stripping everyday objects of what normally one takes for granted. There comes a moment when everyday objects lose their sense of familiarity, acquire another meaning and seem to become almost abstract. Such moments are used by Elspeth Diederix as a starting point for her images.


Diederix started at the art academy by studying painting and sculpture but soon tried her hand at photography, which she found to be a more effective way of expressing her ideas. Diederix deliberately abstains from the use of digital manipulation techniques but instead in her photographs special effects are achieved by manual intervention. Effects such as optical illusion, false perspective, the mixing of colours and forms, are elements inherent to the art of painting and are applied by her in the creation of the photographic image.

Diederix is playful and inventive in her visualisation of images but strict and almost mathematical in constructing her compositions. Even though her photographs may give the impression that they are brought about by chance, they are in fact staged to an extreme degree. A plastic bag may become a flower, a plastic bottle part of a classical still life. Is a motorbike still a motorbike when it has been covered all over with pink pigment? And what is the meaning of a “post-it” label on the trunk of a solitary tree in a snow covered landscape?
