“Maschinenträume” is a collection of original artworks created by artists Igor Posavec and Sven Sauer (SA-PO). In our works we develop illusions that put the viewer’s perception to the test. Again and again, the we are thematically pulled to mega-cities such as Tokyo, Shanghai or New York. Our works show symptoms of a society and the tempo of a technology development that has exceeded the measure which a civilization is capable to absorb. The result is an exhilarating rationalist romanticism for a civilization which is obsessed of being addicted to reality…Rich in images, the artists tell of the lonely search for identity and intimacy amid the global brand epidemic.
Only in this short time frame can visitors admire the unpublished, never seen before artworks. Once the time is up all unsold artworks will be burned and destroyed forever. This social-critical event inevitably forces us to examine the value of art in relation to the constantly accelerating life of our fast paced society.
