Lissy Willberg (b. 1989, East Berlin)
lives and works in Leipzig (DE).
Lissy Willberg is an artist, researcher, and lecturer specializing in performative arts. With a background in dance, they explore social and spatial dynamics through installations and performances based on participatory proposals. These site-specific constellations blur the boundaries between being, performing and participating. At the core of Willberg’s work are texts that emerge as performance scripts, movement scores, exhibition manuals, song lyrics, research abstracts or essays.
Currently, Willberg is moving-researching along (im)possible demarcations between nature, culture, and technology. Their projects explore the materialities of ways of relating and pursue questions of collectivity and coexistence. For a few years, they’ve been testing artistic ways of documenting, preserving and archiving the performative.
