Oscar Lebeck, born in Hamburg in 1993, studied at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts and completed the postgraduate master’s program Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts. His artistic practice engages with the ways in which traces of history can be represented and made visible; for example, he reconstructed the cult spaces of ancient temple sites for a solo exhibition at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig. With his work, he explores the perception of places steeped in history and encourages reflection on the versatility of the representation of structural relics. In 2021, he received a travel grant from the Saxony Cultural Foundation to the Goethe Institute in Hanoi and in 2023 he was a fellow at the Künstlerhaus Edenkoben.
