Hynek Alt
Shifting between photography, video and sculpture. He focuses primarily on researching the photographic image and a post-conceptual approach to the medium. These he develops in spatial installations. Hynek Alt is concerned with forms of perception of the human in the current digital era and the navigation in between physical surroundings and artificially constructed social systems. He often works with the principles of reproduced records or generic objects and situations, questioning their meaning.
