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, compiling and creating expressions that embrace and feed on “errors” as fragile necessities.
Her practice centers on improvisation, using her voice, instruments/objects and field recordings.
Merging coincidences, intentions, sounds and visuals, both pure or heavily processed, into something deeply personal.
