Lernert & Sander are two dutch artists and friends who decided that working alone was getting boring and started collaborating on art related projects. Since their first video Chocolate Bunny they've been working on commercials, leaders, art movies, documentaries and installations.
Their aim is to make simple and communicative works, that take little notes from the existing border between contemporary art and commercial projects.
Chocolate Bunny
Their highly aesthetic, humorous and dedicated works often challenge the media and its viewer, in a simple but very effective way. Their work was selected for international festivals in New York, Rio de Janeiro and Oberhausen.
