Das nachleben der internet
Das nachleben der internet revolves around the term “Phantom nostalgia”: the longing for an experience, feeling or place one has never experienced. It is a form of nostalgia fuelled by the overflow of images and stories coming from new technologies.
Looking for ways and means, he indulges in playing with how this term might translate to the physical world. Using written and drawn symbols, he creates a world where levity rules and rules are subverted.
