Short Bio
Kani Lent is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker and researcher based in Berlin.
They utilize video, 3D simulation/digital modelling, photography, sound, sculpture, painting and writing as methods to resample reigning lores.
Lent thinks of their practice as an analogy experienced in occidental tartini notes of technology with the poetic margins at the center.
Through the use of various media and archival practices they assemble ongoing time-based fragment-installations which reflect on their research themes of the virtual, (westasian) refiguration and mythmaking, history of perception contemporary media culture, information circulation, cybernetics and form.
Continuous collaborations are integral to their practice.
They studied fine art at the University of Arts Berlin in the class of Prof. Dr. Hito Steyerl and Guestprofessor Mykola Ridnyi.
Their work has been recently exhibited at Museum for photography Berlin, Documenta 15 at Temporary Home, PhotoInternational Zurich, the Space Gallery San Francisco/Berkeley and Transmediale/CTM, Silent Green Berlin amongst others.
