Tobias Fandel / Passagen-Werke
'Passagen-Werke' is inspired by sociological and philosophical attempts to understand the impact of urban culture and developments on the human mind and sensory sensitivities. Early post-industrialization capitalism, technological reproducibility, and disruptive manufacturing processes are investigated from afar through the lens of emerging and obsolete media and their complex relationship.
