Leni Smoragdova is a multidisciplinary artist and the founder of the Transaction Art Universe.

Her practice looks closely at what our systems capture—and, more significantly, at what escapes them: glitches, failures, losses, distortions, and disappearances.

Part of her practice develops under the collective name {Transaction}, often in collaboration with anonymous participants. Authorship remains intentionally open and cannot always be clearly identified.

Born in Smolensk, she currently lives and works in Tbilisi.
