Lena Violetta Leitner
Wien
Lena Violetta Leitner
invents, intervenes and cooperates.
Her works move between fiction and fact, humor and seriousness, subtlety and conspicuousness. They are usually created in intensive research and in close exchange with artists, designers and scientists.
This results in participatory installations, but also performances with plants, electronics and text. Plants and their socio-political dimension fascinate her, especially the connections between science (often biology), language and society.
As the artist duo Kollektiv OutSight, Leitner works together with Steffi Baron- Neuhuber with sound, text, and language. With the ecofeminist and socio- artistic Danube Transformation Agency for Agency (DTAFA), she uses hybrid practices between visual art, design and science to advocate for a livable future for the Danube. As head of IZMP (Integrationcenter for Migrated Plants), she decides on the right of residence for foreign plants.
Lena Violetta Leitner completed her studies in Digital Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. She lives in Vienna, Austria.
With her collective DTAFA she received an Ö1 – Reparatur der
Zukunft award. In 2022 she was awarded the Start Scholarship for Media Art by the Federal Chancellery of Austria (BMKÖS) and in 2023 the Acquisition Award by the Province of Styria.
Lena Violetta Leitner’s residency is supported by Bildrecht.
