Syncope

"When we concentrate the most, we find ourselves thinking nothing at all."

Drifting off with open eyes has become a daily companion of our modern society. The ongoing series "Syncope" deals with moments of sudden sensory overload in a playful, poetic and sometimes sarcastic way.

Each picture depicts people in their own world of thoughts - abstract and yet real, artistic, and yet so down to earth. Is our society still able to focus in a world full of stimuli?

Bio
Seb Agnew is an award-winning photo artist based in Hamburg, Germany. Within staged images, he creates hyperrealistic sceneries which explore the human psyche and our modern society. Set design, lighting and composition play a major role in his photographic work. Seb loves cinematic and mysterious settings as well as moments of disorientation and lonesome reflection. For his sceneries, he either elaborately redecorates life-size rooms or builds his sets completely as miniatures/dioramas by using different materials and crafting techniques.
