Edgar Leciejewski

Edgar Leciejewski (*Berlin 1977) explores the various social and scientific uses of photography. His work employs an experimental, analytic approach to the medium of photography by using various techniques and media. Besides content-related issues and the reflection of his own work, he is interested in issues such as the rhetoric of the photographic series, the photographic genre, the composition, and how as much time as possible can fit in a single photographic image. His pictures are repositories of time that allow for the slowing down of the act of seeing. Leciejewski's work has been internationally exhibited amongst others at Witte de With Center for Contempoary Art Rotterdam, at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Kunsthalle Wien, Royal Academy London, Fogo Island Arts Canada and at Museum der bildenden Kuenste Leipzig. Leciejewski lives and works in Leipzig, Germany. www.edgarl.de
