Ian Wainaina

Photographer

Ian Wainaina is a Kenyan photographer based in Berlin. He creates narratives rooted in capturing his experiences navigating through a predominantly white, western society for the last eight years, having grown up in Kenya for the first 19 years of his life. His work employs a calculated use of abstraction, materiality, and experimentation both within and without the camera, in a way that invites new and unpredictable cycles of thoughts and associations within the viewer.
