I see myself as part of a global network that is rhizomatically interconnected
and constantly in exchange and grows in a collective movement.
In my artistic practice I focus on the development of interdisciplinary works
at the intersection of sound and word, film art, movement, painting and space.
My working method is fluid, situational, and process-oriented, and my installations
and performative interventions are driven by political contexts.
Documentary film as activism is another way for me to work on social lines of conflict
and to collaborate with actors from different fields.
Sophia Leitenmayer (*22.04.1996 in Freiburg i.Br.) lives and works in Hamburg.
