Léna Capilla Sanchez            
director and photographer






Léna Capilla is a Belgian-Mexican photographer and director based between Berlin and Brussels.








Her work blends melancholia and mystery, evolving over the years between documentary and fashion photography. In both her photography and films, she delves into the boundary between dreams and reality, examining how emotions and the subconscious shape our perception of time.  Her characters are often caught between past memories and present existence.








In photography, she treats her subjects as more than mere models, fostering a collaborative process similar to directing actors in cinema. Her artistic focus spans personal projects rooted in cultural and artistic contexts, where emotion and narrative are key.
