Gerhard Leeb je bil rojen leta 1952 v Bodensdorfu ob Osojskem jezeru na Koroškem.
Več kot 20 let dela samostojno kot fotograf, grafik, novinar in založnik. Je avtor številnih
razstav fotografij, grafik ter land-in project art del. Njegova je zamisel evropskega
projekta »Alpsko mesto leta«.
Motive za svoje fotografije Gerhard Leeb vedno najde v naravi, jih pa, kot pri seriji
»Pantha rei«, tudi eksperimentalno obdela. Njegova land-in project art dela so zelo
družbeno kritična. Ne zadostuje mu ustvarjanje »lepih« reči. Vsako od njegovih del je
obtožba proti vladajočim sistemom, proti pohlepnosti bank in proti gen-manipulaciji.

Gerhard Leeb was born in 1952 in Bodensdorf at the Lake Ossiach in the Austrian state
of Carinthia. For over 20 years he has been working as an independent photographer,
graphic designer, journalist and publisher. He is an author of numerous photograph
and graphic exhibitions, as well as land- and project-art work. His is the idea of the
European project “The Alpine town of the year.”
Gerhard Leeb always finds the motives for his work in nature and then sometimes, like
in his “Pantha Rei” series, experimentally treats them. His land- and project-art works
offer extreme social critique. He does not find making “pretty things” sufficient. Each
of his works is an accusation of the ruling system, of bank greed and of the genetic
manipulation.
