Description

*1987 Vera Leisibach often works in artist teams or collectives. Leisibach pursues an artistic practice in which she documents inconspicuous situations in everyday life, creating a sprawling video archive in the process. In the hope of better storing and collecting these moments, Leisibach captures those "unimportant" moments with her cell phone camera. Depending on the collaboration and context, this video archive is accessed and new works are created from it. With the same attention, Leisibach has recently been roaming YouTube and capturing absurd moments there. From these YouTube snippets, Leisibach then creates new compositions, such as in the video essay "In Reverse." The video essay deals with the climate debate in the USA and Australia as well as the way the main-stream media treats the so-called "climate critics".
