Leonie Lass (1999, Germany) studies sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart with Prof. Mariella Mosler. She was a guest student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the class of Prof. Franka Hörnschemeyer and studied at the Iceland University of the Arts in Reykjavík. She is a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation; her work has been shown internationally.

Her artistic practice is concerned with space as a constructed condition, understood as a container that organises functions, histories, hierarchies, and systems of provision, and that actively shapes bodily perception and behaviour. Central to her approach is the act of placing herself into a new place, entering existing spatial structures in order to sense, test, and expose their conditions from within. Through site-responsive interventions, she works with architectural situations and their often-overlooked elements such as light, temperature, air circulation, volume, and infrastructural systems. These components become material and narrative agents, revealing how spaces regulate, support, and condition bodies.

Her practice in Seyðisfjörður unfolds as a reflection on spatial situations marked by interdependency. In her work, interdependency emerges as a constitutive condition, one that structures everyday rhythms, relations, and forms of care. By placing herself into constellations, and through subtle spatial shifts and acts of removal, the project explores how spaces carry, shelter, and withhold, and how bodies within shaped spaces negotiate states of reliance, exposure, and mutual holding.
