Leandro Erlich (b. 1973, Buenos Aires) uses the effects of simulation and sceno-graphic strategies to create installations that provoke ingenuity, spectacle, astonishment and disorientation. MOLAA inaugurated a new series of exhibitions in the Project Room, devoted to works by experimental and contemporary artists in Latin America today. The first in the series, Lost Garden is an installation by artist Leandro Erlich (Argentina, b. 1973), which proposed to transform our perception of the real world. Combining architectural structures and elements such as windows, and the use of mirrors, the artist constructs multiple and impossible perspectives which result in disconcerting, unexpected, and playful games of visual illusions.
