Zilla Leutenegger references the aesthetics of video games and animation, creating often slow-moving, other-worldly ‘narratives’ such as Oh Mein Papa and Peak. Evoking the power of memories and dreams, Leuteneggers work lulls the viewer by providing a visual experience in which real footage (usually of herself) in a particular landscape is ‘softened’ and made more
abstract. In Peak, Leutenegger specifically explores the overlap of video and drawing, inserting moving images of herself within sketches of street locations.
