Life

At the beginning of the eighties he learned the craft of photography from Paul Goldman in Israel. During a stay in Kibbutz Lahav near Be'er Scheva , the first photo works were created, an extensive documentation about the nightly guarding of the border fence to the West Bank, a portrait of the sniper Evelyna Klein and a documentation about the decline of the Bedouin settlement of Dahab in the Negev desert .

Then came mainly press, especially sport photography and journalistic work for different agencies, mainly for cycling on La Palma (Canary Islands) and Mallorca .

In 2006, after a serious accident at a bicycle race in Spain in which two friends had an accident, Lebethier turned back to art photography and founded the “ Archive of Memory ”. As a result, numerous photographic works and publications were published.

In parallel to photography, Lebethier is engaged in painting, sculpture and video art.

Lebethier lives and works in Vienna, Berlin and Bangkok.
