Lives and works in Hamburg, Germany

Active 2026

Wariara Githinji's practice explores the liminal space between completion and cessation. Her lens often settles on the residues of human activity and natural processes, observing the lingering forms and traces that persist just beyond the point of action. Githinji's work often evokes a sense of quiet aftermath, a close meditation on what is left behind rather than what has just occurred. She is concerned with the subtle echoes of presence and absence, the silent testimony of objects and environments in a state of settling. Her recent images engage with an aesthetic of material fatigue, drawing parallels with the incidental textures of early digital reproduction. Active since 2026.
