LARS BRINK
Thoughts of interest:
I explore contemporary phenomena shaped by consumption patterns and humanity’s evolving relationship with technology. My work is conceptual, driven by an interest in how trends imprint themselves on the modern psyche and how our perception of time unfolds in a world defined by impermanence. Framing my practice within the Anthropocene, I reflect on the human condition—our estrangement from nature, our longing for meaning, and the elusive pursuit of inhabiting a suggestive "now."
