DEEP END
solo-exhibition, Lou gallery
curated by Earthbound Lovers
Helsinki, 2026
The exhibition takes the form of a cruise ship journey, alluding to a metaphorical passage into the deeper layers of the soul. Living in the exhibition space and activating it through a series of performative actions, Leo becomes the passenger on this enigmatic voyage.

FORTUNA
solo-exhibition, Hobusepea gallery
Tallinn, 2026
The exhibition imagines a particular stillness, the kind that makes time feel both abundant and impossibly brief. At the centre, there is a figure called Fortuna. She resembles the artist and she does not. She is a reflection, an avatar, a way of letting grief move through a body without having to speak directly in confession. The present moment glows because it is already passing. The wheel turns whether you believe in it or not.

ABOUT:
Liina Leo is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the transformative power of the unseen. Her practice navigates liminal spaces between life and death, light and darkness, dreams and reality. She holds a BA in Textile Design from the Estonian Academy of Arts and an MA in Contemporary Photography from Central Saint Martins. Leo approaches image-making as an alchemical process, focusing on its hidden material conditions rather than representation alone. Through site-specific performances, photography, and moving image, she reflects on experiences of alienation.
