Lena Kilkka

 

A cultural anthropologist and creative, this native North Carolinian has been “sleepworking” around Germany and the Balkans since 2002. The majority of Lena Kilkka’s recent creative work is based on images, sounds and sensations that come to her during the transition and blending of nocturnal realities; it attempts to communicate how the horror, beauty and even absurd humor of those vast, complex worlds go hand in hand.

She enjoys experimenting with analogue, digital, alternative, historical, multimedial and unorthodox photographic techniques, and is most fascinated by the aesthetic merging of photography and painting, by the abstract and experimental. This often places her works into the somewhat non-conventional yet cozy corners of today’s photographic realm.
