About the artist
Leon Kahane (born in Berlin in 1985) creates conceptual video works, photographs, and installations that center on themes of migration, identity, and coming to terms with majorities and minorities in a globalized society. His interest frequently focuses on geopolitical and social changes of the recent past. Time and again he calls attention to events and institutions that express the contradictions inherent in history. They reflect historical, political, economic, and biographical aspects, which he takes up and explores in his works.
