Leonie Kellein (*1993, lives and works in Berlin) works primarily with moving image. Her practice centers on the investigation of the filmic gaze and technique in order to draw attention to the media themselves while simultaneously developing new, multilayered forms of narration. In her work - spanning film, sculpture and installation in space - moments of disturbance, surveillance, suspense and repetition are deployed with intentional ambiguity to create a kind of splitting of real time into a double state. In doing so, the perception of the captured body is placed in dialogue – or even in conflict – with the technical recording. Kellein sees this double state between the real and the mediated world as a political instrument. She investigates how devices such as cameras, drones, or recording equipment relate to the body. In this way, her work reflects on the relationship between reality and the technologies that record it.
