As a promising young photographer her work is being linked to the earlier works of Erwin Olaf.</p>
<p>
With the same intention, feeling, humor and craftsmanship she creates new worlds to which most of us can relate too.</p>
<p>
Especially in her autonomous work Lisa offers us a dreamlike and nostalgic universe in a narration where she developed a keen sense of aesthetics, staging and detail, all with a tasty singular humor.</p>

After six years of creative photography, the time has come to make a book in the retrospective of Lisa Universe . Showing a combination of creative and absurd photography with a touch of elegance and style, all which is made in Lisa’s handwriting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This book will show a variety of her work: autonomous series, editorial works as well as new unpublished projects.</p>
<p>
You can discover through the making-of by Pippa Riddick one of the last series of Lisa "Imaginary Friend"</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
For this we are looking for funds to achieve disseminate their work to the general public, and offer its collectors book.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Then join in by pre-buying the book, and as you circulate around her project!</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
Allocation of funds
<p>
Collecting Funds for the book by Lisa used to cover part of the cost of book production, graphic design for which she will work with 2 young Graphic Designers freshly out of the London College of Communication, printing 470 copies and its limited edition of 30 pieces (including a limited edition signed print).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The realization of this artbook is budgeted at 10.000 euros.</p>
<p>
- 4800 € for printing</p>
<p>
- 900 € for paper and book board for the limited edition</p>
<p>
- 1200 € for binding</p>
<p>
- 2500 € for design, artwork and production (which includes foil blocking of the 470 copies and hand producing the 30 limited edition copies)</p>
<p>
- 600 € for “material” samples of each shoot to be included in the book </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Any extra money will go into making the limited edition of 30 as nice and special as possible!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The writer <strong>Mathias Malzieu</strong> also joined the project, having both poetic worlds, his texts will suit perfectly the pictures of Lisa.</p>
