Mina Mohseni

Mina Mohseni – KHF Fellow from 1.2.2026-31.1.2027 – is an interdisciplinary artist from southern Iran based in Berlin. Her research-driven practice spans animation, video, and participatory light installations, exploring spaces in which inner and outer worlds intersect. At the core of her work is an engagement with a kind of fourth dimension, understood as the entanglement of time, space, and possibility.

With a background in fine arts (BFA and MFA), Mohseni brings together mystical traditions and contemporary scientific concepts, folklore and technology, while questioning the boundaries between observation and reality. She draws on Sufism and Hekmat-e Khosravani, ancient Persian philosophical traditions in which light signifies divine knowledge and layered realities, and connects these with ideas such as multiplicity, entanglement, and hidden states drawn from quantum physics. Light, both material and metaphorical, forms the core of her aesthetic approach. It operates as a mediator between mysticism and science, the intimate and the cosmic. In her work, Mohseni examines how observation alters what is observed, and how light, memory, and uncertainty shape perception. Her works reflect the instability of knowledge and the simultaneous existence of reality and imagination.
