Leonhard Lass is a visual artist and the kaleidoscope eye of ‘Depart’, a twin-headed art group focusing on the sound-image-text ménage à trois. His work interweaves all media at hand into one fine Gordian impact. Peppered with contemporary magic it seeks to tame the incomprehensible by short-circuiting our cultural hypertext. He has gained some notoriety as a ruthless smuggler of audiovisual booty across the well guarded border between the poetic and the mundane.
