Lea von Wintzingerode

Press release

Hua International is honored to present the first solo exhibition of German artist Lea von Wintzingerode (b. 1990) in China, titled “Our Eyes Felt Like Canyons”. The exhibition will feature her latest paintings and sound installation, where visual and auditory awareness will connect; in this synesthetic experience, the internal world of humans and the external social and natural environments will intertwine, reflecting and influencing each other.

"Our Eyes Felt Like Canyons” centers around a sound installation bearing the same name as the exhibition, surrounded by paintings, declaring two of von Wintzingerode’s most important identities: sound artist and painter. The site-specific sound installation blends synthesized and field-recorded sounds, juxtaposing electronic and natural sounds that permeate the surrounding space. The paintings, some depicting live music scenes (especially “my deep listening fantasy I, red”), place the viewers alongside the figures in the artworks as participants of the exhibition. Here, our ears become their ears, and our eyes become their eyes. The crossing of mediums bridges auditory and visual awareness.
