Edgar Leciejewski

Leciejewski studied with Peter Piller, Christopher Muller and Timm Rautert at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig.

He 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.

His work has been presented in several institutional solo exhibitions, such as at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig; Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin (2017); Forum für Fotografie Cologne;Stadtmuseum München and more.

He has also participated in numerous international group exhibitions including Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Brandts Museum, Denmark; Stadtmuseum München (2016); Kunsthalle Leipzig; Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt; Kunsthalle Wien; National Museum Krakow (2013); NRW Forum, Düsseldorf (2012); Witte de With, Rotterdam.  

His works are represented in many international public and private collections.
