Lasse Leendertz is a German artist, filmmaker, and music producer who crafts art that blurs the boundaries between dystopia and reality, offering a unique aesthetic. He delves into concepts of a lost future and a time post-human dominance. With characteristically distorted hues, he lends an inimitable atmosphere to his personally captured photographs. The pieces appear CGI-like but are based on real photos that undergo intricate editing processes. He purposefully pushes societal expectations with surreal landscapes that are simultaneously oppressive and expansive.
He emphasizes that for him, conventional media types are merely tools for artistic expression. For him, cinematography represents an expanded platform where he further develops and brings to life his ideologies rooted in static art.
Dedication and distinct approach have earned international recognition. His works have been featured in curated exhibitions and respected publications, both print and digital. His cinematic talent got noticed when he won the jury prize at the 2019 "24hToTake" short film contest.
For Lasse, art is more than expression—it's a beacon for introspection, illuminating his journey of understanding and self-discovery. As he ventures into new realms, Lasse delves into diverse media forms, from photography and cinematography to music production, sound design, editing, and screenwriting. Each avenue is pursued with dedication, especially his deep-seated passion for understanding the intricate layers of music and sound.
In addition to his own artistic endeavours, he created the "Let's Make Art Together" (LMAT) project, a multi-platform collective intelligence project that celebrates creativity as a shared experience. LMAT brings together people from all over the world to collaboratively create and share art, and its YouTube series serves as a showcase for this unique collaboration.
