Leandro Erlich, "The Cloud - Lion", 2014
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1973. Lives and works in Buenos Aires
Leandro Erlich’s work explores the artifices of visuality, through sensory and perceptual games. Everyday architecture is a recurrent theme in his work, with which he creates paradoxes between what we believe and what we see, with situations of mystery and questioning. This transgression of limits destabilizes not only our absolute beliefs, but also the limits of art and the legitimizing institutions. Through installations, sculptures, photographs and videos, the artist simulates situations that dislocate our everyday experience and our understanding of the common.
