Lezli Rubin-Kunda, multidisciplinary artist, in the last 10 years has focused on site-specific, time-extended projects based in live action and performance., driven by need for connection through material action, to feel deeply ‘at home’ in the world. The works occur over periods of time extending from 15 minutes to several months, in the context of residencies, festivals, symposiums and exhibitions and as a private initiative, in urban and natural settings, often revisiting places of personal or collective history.
