“Norbert Schoerner is an extraordinary photographer. He’s got a really amazing mind and a filmic, futuristic sensibility. He really rose to the challenge on this shoot, and it turned out to be the perfect collaboration. It’s a very strange story – the lighting. The oddness of it. I don’t really know where any of it was coming from in Lee’s mind. Lee had a very special relationship with the magazine and when he felt like he had the sudden urge to do something really exceptional, out-there and uninhibited he would always bring it to Dazed. I mean, it wasn’t like he was doing that kind of thing all the time – it was almost like he was gestating this kind of thing and that he then had to get it out… it had to exist. There was a sense that he was exercising his creativity through the pages of the magazine, and he knew that he was not going to be curtailed in doing that.” EMMA REEVES
