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.
Leandro Erlich’s work explores the artifices of vision, though games of perception and sensory experience. The architecture of everyday life is a recurring theme in his practice, often used to construct paradoxes between what we believe and what we see. In Order of Importance (2019), Erlich created a monumental installation of 66 vehicles sculpted from compacted beach sand, presented during Art Basel Miami Beach. This piece served as the inspiration for the sculpture Concrete Coral (2024).
