Born in 2002, currently being based the London to South Coast region of the UK. Kenny comes from a background of photography, with his mother being a freelance photographer who spent much of their youth photographing him and his siblings.

Their work has long focused on nostalgia, taking influences from liminal spaces and the declining mental health of generation Z to create work that forces audiences to confront the reality of passing time. Other projects include the 2024 home-video work ‘NOSTALGIA’ and the 2025 summer project ‘Merry-Go Round’.

Its most recent project is a mixed-media music video project titled ‘Dyschronia’ – referring to the distorted perception of time, mixing their interest in acting, music and a love for animation into a work that encapsules his previous themes and interests. in collaboration with Aden Joyner and Elizabeth HackettThis. project has debuted here at London’s International Copelands Gallery as a part of the Undisclosed Collective.

Dyschronia is a VOCALOID inspired music video that blends photography and moving image, acting, music and animation (by Aden Joyner) alongside video effects to create a story set to accompanying music. The project focuses predominantly on nostalgia, the ties between moving image and music as well as mixed media and animation. It uses VOCALOID Hatsune Miku’s vocals (music by RishieP) and liminal spaces as well as further inspirations in video games and old-school VHS effects and glitches to unsettle and enhance the emotional effect on audience members.

The music video follows a young person who is haunted by child entities and represents the way that nostalgia can warp our perceptions of time and what we remember as being positive and negative. Hence the name of the project, Dyschronia, which relates to not being able to differentiate between time periods. The use of edited glitches throughout the video represents these ambiguous moments in time whilst also serving to unnerve the audience into realising their own nostalgic tendencies, and this story and music video is specifically designed for a younger generations’ audience, particularly those in generation Z.
