Leon Filter is an artist and researcher working with performative reading, drawing, video and publishing. In his practice, he examines conditions and historical and political implications of personal narratives, often in collaborative forms. His research's practical and theoretical concern for anecdotal knowledge and the connections it allows is influenced by documentary, essayistic and performative filmic practices, specifically under the aspects of pedagogy, authorship and unfitness. Leon's continuously accompanying practice The Listening Group (www.listeninggroup.info) initiates communal conversations and inquiries on selected texts and films.
