“The material world is actively interconnected. It forms a network of agents, a polyphony of actors. In the past, it was warmth that united us, but today it is the noise. The connections are queer. Fictional, mythical spaces emerge, where an assemblage of critters interacts on an equal footing. The body, with all its internal sensations and stored memories, carries us and navi- gates us. We are the machines, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment. I critically question the hegemony of the visual and explore the sensual dimensions of architecture. The linear perspective, shaped by grids, order and patterns is disturbed and expand- ed in my art. I want to recalibrate the senses and decentralize the human perspective.” Leandra Agazzi (*1994, Zurich) lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. She completed her BFA in Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2021 and her MFA in 2023.
