NEON EGOS

Neon Egos deals with the delusionary character of memory, compressing every memory based on sentimental priorities, creating an oversaturated image like a JPEG-file. Thus once remembered, any experience will only be remembered as its memory, and then as the memory of the memory, subsequently.
This collection of portraits and urban landscapes is entirely photographed in found neon light in urban space at nighttime. The light is flickering just like memories are, and certain parts are disappearing into the darkness just like experience is vanishing into the void of blacked-out memory.

Linn Phyllis Seeger

Linn Phyllis Seeger's photographic work examines the correlation and interplay of man and place, particularly reflecting about geographical utopias, modern myths and memory, treating landscapes, faces and the mundane as coequal combatants against forgetting. Alienation, delocalisation, and the human need to create places that exceed real living environments are ubiquitous motifs in her artistic work. After graduating in 2015, she has been pursuing several projects during artist residencies in the course of the past years, and exhibited her work throughout Europe, the United States and China. Linn Phyllis Seeger studied photography at both Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany, and Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. Apart from her own artistic work she has been part of the curatorial team of the PhotoBookMuseum in Cologne, Germany, since 2014.
