Lique Schoot is a multidisciplinary conceptual artist. Since graduating in 1997, she has concentrated on the self-portrait as a vehicle for exploring the nature of existence. She has taken a picture of herself every day with an analog compact camera at arm's length since October of 2003. This continuous stream of self-portraits, 'LS diaries', records her existence in one frame every day.

This photographic diary is a central source for 'LS data', her entire, growing oeuvre, encompassing paintings, photography, objects, poems, site-specific art, and installations. In all of her work, she explores the dual nature of identity as simultaneously the perpetual reinvention of the self and an equally willful projection of the other. Common emotions and great themes emerge from the quiet simplicity and persistence of her imagery.
