Leho De Sosa

Rather than speaking about identity, I am interested in shifting and transforming imaginaries.

I create sculptures, installations, and hybrid works through handmade processes that incorporate the languages of comics, manga, cinema, and popular culture. My practice brings together forms, images, and performance, exploring the object as thing, strange body, and symbolic accessory, as well as its affective and political charge.

I use the fetish as part of a cultural language connected to desire, fictionality, and playfulness.
