Höllhumer’s films are created through performative film shoots – live events as a total spectacle where mundane preparations alternate with intense and brutal sessions. The performances are characterized by the use of different set pieces that may come from everyday life, trying to capture the essence of masquerades.
Leon Höllhumer (b. 1986 in Austria) works as an artist, choreographer and filmmaker in Vienna. He studied Contextual painting with Ashley Hans Scheirl at the Academy of Fine Arts. As a multimedia artist focusing on performance, sculpture, photography and film, he has shown his work since 2014 at numerous exhibitions and institutions in Austria and abroad.
The project is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Põhjala Brewery.
