Leniko Sennoma ABOUT

Leniko Sennoma is a Berlin-based film and installation artist whose work challenges the boundaries between reality and dream. Their art focuses on themes such as social justice, intersectional feminism, and the dismantling of systemic oppression.  They combine techniques of lucid dreaming and archetypical symbolism to question the status quo of neoliberal information society. Their art is an ongoing search for possibilities of collective liberation, the dismantling of systemic oppression, and the creation of political collaboration. By developing an audiovisual-metaphorical language that works with the synchresis of image, sound, and material aesthetics, they create hypnotic environments that appear simultaneously gentle and eerie. Influenced by their studies in epistemology, theoretical, feministic, analytical philosophy and film theory, their works play with the consciousness of the viewer, generating a broad spectrum of associations, emotions and contrasts. Sennoma’s video-/installations and short films have been shown in numerous galleries, museums and festivals across continents, including Zilberman Gallery Berlin Germany, Gallery 062 Chicago USA, Gallery SA-KURA Nagoya Japan,  Inflamável Film Festival Santa Caterina Brazil and Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Germany.
