Lenard Giller


Lenard Giller (b. 1997, Munich) lives and works in Cologne and Rome.

Giller's practice looks at the relationship between reality and its translation and representation through time-based technologies. Spanning film, sound, sculptural elements and installation, Giller’s practice unpacks the material, structural and underlying emotional components that condition perception.
