Thought Police

Leniko Sennoma’s main artistic mediums are film and installation. They completed their studies in fine arts, philosophy, and pedagogy at UdK/FU Berlin in 2020, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree and finished their Master (Meisterschü-ler:in) in Fine Arts at UdK Berlin in 2024. Sennoma's work explores the boundaries between reality and dream, with a focus on social justice and intersec-tional feminism. They combine techniques of lucid dreaming and archetypical symbolism to question the status quo of information society. Their art is an on-going 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 in and outside Europe, including Galerie Nord | Kunstverein Tiergarten, Gallery 062 Chicaga USA, Gallery SA-KURA Nagoya Japan and Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, ONÍRICO, 2019.
