Lenard Giller: Productions

The structure of a 1982 Cinderella sticker album formed the basis for Lenard Giller's Productions, exploring the tension between mass media, memory, empty frames and fulfilling time. Originally conceived to host 360 stickers as a printed synthesis of its cinematic counterpart, Giller reinterprets its configuration offering a new narrative proposition.

In Productions, none of the characters are suitably introduced, confrontations take place without explanation and the resolution is left unresolved. What remains is a broken-up storyboard, a slimmed-down tale told through drawings, the characters becoming innocuous, with their voices from the original film and their emotional journeys entirely absent. It becomes as much about the processes of production as it is about the story, Giller exposes the limits of how entertainment is made, when all is reduced to its core.

Lenard Giller (b. 1997, Munich) studied at Camberwell College of Art, London between 2016 and 2019. His most recent body of work DreamWorks, is currently on view at Petrine, Paris. Productions, a project spanning various forms was included in the group exhibition, You Probably Have Everything You Need to Browse This Site, at Galerie Noah Klink, Berlin (2022). The corresponding book, published by Veii, was published in November 2022. In 2022 Giller was the recipient of scholarships from the Stiftung Kunstfonds and the Foundation for Culture of the State of Bavaria.
