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?

Author
Seb Agnew is a photo artist based in Hamburg, Germany. Within staged and often dreamlike sceneries, he explores the human psyche and our modern society. Disorientation, momentary solitude and lonesome reflection are recurring themes within Seb’s conceptual body of work.

His images are strongly characterized by elaborate set design, distinctive lighting and carefully arranged composition. In order to create his surreal, mysterious and cinematic settings, Seb transforms whole rooms or builds his locations completely as miniature sets in which he later integrates his life-size models.
