Stefan Panhans reflects on the state and the effects on the formation of our identity in his photo and video works. The artist mostly stages his video sequences in confined spaces: in cars, train compartments, cellars or the seclusion of a campfire site at night. His focus lies in texts and body languages that poetically condense the day-to-day lunacy of our overinformed society. Panhans' primary source is his perception of blogs, chats, facebook and all other media that draw on the business of consumerism, wellness and showbiz.0Exhibition: Haus am Waldsee, Berlin, Germany (19.1.-16.3.2014) and Villa Merkel, Galerien der Stadt Esslingen am Neckar, Germany (15.12.2013-16.2.2014).
