Born 1964 in Switzerland
Leta Peer is from Lower Engadin, a landscape that marks or at least influences sensitive natures. Today she lives and works in Basel, but her inspiration still comes from the primal landscape of this high mountain valley. Her procedure is unusual. The artist does not look for motifs for her photographs, she allows them to emerge, seemingly without intention. She waits for special light situations in the morning or in the twilight; she loves the misty moods that are untypical of Engadin, the cloudy skies, the landscapes ruffled by rain or premature snow – places that she seeks out again and again.
