Artist statement:
“My works are feminist narratives in which I use fantastical and mythological elements to question my personal, social and political identities and memories. The works often reflect the past more broadly in form and content, while at the same time suggesting a crucial connection to the future, i.e. whether it would be a memory of the future. Immigration, the Jewish diaspora, collective memory and the body as a narrative element play an important role in my work.

My artistic perspective is shaped by my own immigrant background: I grew up in the USA and Israel before moving to Germany myself, and am a mix of Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish parents. My previous work is a multimedia mix of text, installation, audio, video, collage and photography; I use the medium that best suits the concept of the project.”

In ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit beschäftigt sich Lea Schürmann mit der Rolle von Filtern, Sprache und Zeichensystemen bei der Entstehung von Bedeutungen. Indem sie die strukturellen Logiken eines bestimmten Kontextes dekonstruiert, filtert und neu zusammensetzt, schafft sie Skulpturen und Installationen, die die Wahrnehmung ihrer jeweiligen Umgebung verschieben und die Fragilität von menschengemachten Systemen hervorheben. Ihr Interesse gilt Träumen, Halluzinationen und Geistern, Erinnerungen und Vergessen, falschen Identitäten, Déjà-vus und Doppelgängern und damit verbunden der Fragilität allgemeingültiger Konzepte von Wahrheit und Realität.

Lea Schürmann studierte von 2013 bis 2019 an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig (HBK) und an der Malmö Art Academy in Schweden. Sie studierte u.a. bei Hartmut Neumann und Anne Pöhlmann und schloss ihr Studium 2019 mit einem Diplom bei Raimund Kummer an der HBK ab. Ihre Arbeiten wurden in Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in Deutschland, den Niederlanden, Dänemark und Schweden gezeigt. Sie hat mehrere Stipendien erhalten und ist derzeit Jahresstipendiatin des Niedersächsischen Ministeriums für Wissenschaft und Kultur. Lea Schürmann lebt und arbeitet in Hannover.
