Liv Burkhard (b. 1998) is a Swiss artist, photographer and filmmaker, who is based in Lucerne. Her numerous travels to all corners of the world have laid the foundation for her more recent works, where she interrogates the phenomena of escapism and its consequences from a multitude of perspectives – at times intimate and observant, sometimes refreshingly straight-forward.

Through her visual language, the artist creates a utopian world of perpetual dusk and stillness, where faces remain hidden and beaches are always empty – a form of escapism in itself.
