Sebastian Lendenmann

Sebastian Lendenmann (*1992, Thurgau, CH) is a visual artist working between Glasgow and Zürich. His practice begins with photography and expands into installation, moving image, publication, collage, and computational image-making. Across analogue and digital processes, he explores what happens to images when they are handled, translated, broken down, and re-formed through different materials and technologies.

His work often combines darkroom methods, scanning, printing, found materials, and AI-based tools such as retexturing, object detection or image classification. He is interested in these systems not as neutral instruments, but as participatory operators that shape how images are made, read, and understood. Photography becomes both a medium and a way of asking questions: about memory, error, perception, mediation, and the shifting status of visual culture.

Lendenmann is particularly drawn to points where images begin to slip — where control gives way to chance, where surfaces carry residue, and where machine readings fail to align with human intention. Across video, print, installations, and publications, his work brings tactile processes into contact with computational ones, holding open the tension between the handmade and the automated, the visible and the obscured.

Moving between camera-based practice, darkroom experimentation, digital fragmentation, and AI-assisted image production, he considers how contemporary image culture is shaped by both physical gestures and technical systems. Rather than seeking clean conclusions, his work stays with uncertainty and the visibility of those frictions.
