Lissy Willberg is an artist, researcher, and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (DE). With a background in dance they explore social and spatial dynamics through installations and performances based on participatory proposals. Movement scores and digital sounds create a research environment for all attendees to encounter each other within. These site-specific constellations blur the boundaries between being, performing and participating. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (2020), Willberg completed an M.A. at the Dutch Art Institute (2022) and participated in the Postnatural Independent Program (2023).
