Phoebe Lesch studied Fine Arts at Accademia di Brera Milan and at Akademie der Bildenden Künste Munich. The multimedia artist treats volume and space, inside and outside, timelessness and timeliness, materiality and immateriality in her own, peculiar way, and constantly seeks new ways of presentation which include sculpture, performance, text and sound. Images of mankind, play, illusion, in-betweens and paradox are keywords for her work.
CURRENT PROJECT
My current project "Das Phantom" (The phantom) includes research on AI, humanoid robots and their relationship to body and spirit. Is the phantom one, is it a multitude? Does it have a body or rather not? I am interested in enigma, paradox, in playing with archetypical fears and with what is frantically taking shape before our very eyes. Within the framework of this research I share fragments of my artistic work on Instagram which will eventually evolve into my new work - inside and outside of the Internet.
Supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
