Swan Linnert

Un flâneur sur le boulevard | Interdisciplinary Artist.

I work using photography, analog and digital, film and video, illustration, painting and audio, sound here and there.

I start selling a few open edition prints here and probably soon also paintings and some other items. Let's see how it goes. Thank You Saatchi Art for the opportunity.

My work is mostly about identity. I follow that topic since years and now in the age of AI, avatars and bots, the question who we are and when, becomes brighter then ever.
Working in various styles and themes I like to see an artists identity as an discord server with different channels, the server being the central element to channel interests and demand.
I use various characters or collectives like Svenson Boulevard, The Linnert Server, Nevs Trennil, Vanilleschnitte, ViewFromBridges and NiconjasWorld.
It's all connected. Floating. Cities, minds, various parameters across media. Open playground.

... lives in Paphos, Cyprus and Paris, France.
