Vilma Leino
‘Zucchini’ & ‘Isolated Aliens’
Images from a series called "Anxious Aliens". A story about aliens suffering from anxiety, because they are worried about the current state of the planet.
The project reflects disconnected feelings and fears formed when daily life that used to be safe and sound starts to feel scary and peculiar.
Vilma Leino is a Finnish born, Berlin based photographer. Her work focuses on self-portraiture. As a photographer, director, model and a stylist, she creates multiple characters to reflect inner feelings, society and womanhood.
Her work experiments with strong colour schemes, composition and the human body. It is a one-woman show, where being in control and the fear of losing it are in constant dialogue. The story is balancing between beauty and horror, forming a story about personal growth, where fears are forming into strength.
