Keny's work seamlessly blends cultural influences and various media, bridging the worlds of art, technology, and science. Their projects often delve into themes such as digital escapism, existential anxiety, the fear of time, and the complexities of queer immigrant identities, creating a cohesive cross-medium universe that resonates with contemporary issues and personal intricate feelings.
Keny began filmmaking at a young age, focusing on 3D animation and computational graphics, using tools like Maya, Blender and p5.js. In 2022, they expanded into professional filmmaking, co-directing two music videos of their own and serving as the CGI artist at the same time. Currently, Keny is preparing for their short film debut, set to begin production in early 2025.
Simultaneously, Keny is a singer and music producer. Their sound merges experimental electronic elements with catchy, immersive, and atmospheric production, paired with vulnerable, poetic lyrics. Keny’s music blends genres in a fluid and captivating way, drawing listeners into a distinctive and timeless sonic world.
Keny also creates multimedia installations and video works. “Life and Death of Hans Maximilian” is an interactive modern Tamagotchi game in which Keny contributed programming in Unreal Engine. The piece was exhibited at Ars Electronica 2023. Keny has also produced AI/CGI visuals for Anna Ehrenstein’s “Bitches on Their Deen (2024)”, exhibited at Kunstverein Heidelberg and the Maxim Gorki Theater. Additionally, they designed video projections for the theater play “Meine Sprache heißt Wut (2024)”, commissioned by Ballhaus Prinzenallee, Berlin.
