Using different media Sean Snyder’s projects deal with obscure deviations in the processes of globalization, their decline in hegemonic power and the occasionally search for the mechanisms of an uncertain utopia. His projects and installations explore aspects urban space and architecture as signs of economic and political structures, while directly addressing the media as a sign of cultural domination through representational and visual methods. The artist uses different sources to produce his projects – photo archives, documents, film footage as well as producing his own material. Through the reprocessing of visual material he deconstructs it creating new narratives showing the manipulative power of modern digital techniques alluding to the manipulative power of mass media.
The exhibition is being held as part of the Heimat Modernism project, a joint initiative by a number of Leipzig institutions and groups, funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
