Lives and practices in Manila, the Philippines
Leeroy NEW is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is at the crux of multiple realms, from fashion and filmmaking to performance and theatre. His immersive installations are primarily produced from found objects relating to the material and social culture of the sites within which they’re constructed. NEW’s oneiric and playful forms emerge from his fascination with non-human ecologies, hybrid world-building, Sci-Fi and myths, and an instinct for social change.
