Lea Fabrikant is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Riga, raised in Jerusalem, and based in Berlin.
She works as a sound artist, performer, DJ, curator, and photographer, creating spaces and compiling expressions embracing and feeding on “errors” as fragile necessities.
Merging coincidences, intentions, sounds and visuals, both pure or heavily processed, into something deeply personal - each piece inseparable from its creator and responding to its exact moment and place in time.
Her practice centers on improvisation, using her voice, instruments, various objects and technologies.
