Leonard Korbus

Leonard Korbus, born in Mainz in 1991, studied fine arts in Halle at Burg Giebichenstein, in Vienna at the Academy of Fine Arts and in Leipzig at the HGB. In 2019, he wrote his theoretical diploma thesis entitled "Der Wille zum Überblick" (The Will to the Overview) about the view from an elevated standpoint. In it, he examines the history of the view from an elevated vantage point and its power.

Central to his work as well is a preoccupation with space and questions about natural and artificial boundaries in nature. From paradise - "pairidaeza" comes from ancient Persian and consists of "pairi" (around) and "daeza" (wall) - to invasive plants in northern Italy, Korbus deals with various forms of demarcation. Nature and man's relationship to it play a central role.
