biography
Philippe Leonard is a projection artist associated with GY!BE's later live performances. His work continues the band's long relationship with film, light, and stage imagery.
The projection role matters because GY!BE's concerts are not built around front-person performance. Visual material becomes part of the architecture: a parallel layer of texture, signal, and political atmosphere.
Leonard's contribution helps keep the post-reunion visual language connected to the band's earlier use of 16mm projection while allowing the live presentation to evolve.
