Die evolutionäre Begleiter des Menschen schwinden.
Basierend auf heutiger Daten zeigt die Installation Exponentiell in Echtzeit das Artensterben auf unserem Planeten im Jahr 2035. #himmelunterberlin #studiosvensauer #svensauer #exponentiel

The city of Nürnberg approached us to stage the historic rock passages.
The catacombs are hewn 4 stories deep into the rock.
The corridors are a vast labyrinth of tunnels and passages and cellars under the city.
.... a great setting 🙂

In May, we give an insight into the bizarre world of Deep Fakes... A Deepfake can simply be thought of a Fake News on steroids. The exhibition shows decidedly funny, but also disturbing results.
Admission is from the age of 18.

The biggest Game of Thrones blog in Spain has started an interview series about the artists of The Rise of the dragon. We had the privilege to open this series with our Harrenhal work :)

One of the artworks we did for the book Rise of the dragon is called The Fishfeed.
The Battle was the biggest battle ever fought in Westeros. So many people died at Gods Eye that the waters of the lake turned red. #georgerrmartin #theriseofthedragon @Burgschneider @westeros

The new book "The Rise of the Dragon" just came out and was immediately #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list. We had the opportunity to create illustrations for the book together with the authors :)

Together with Elio M. Garcia Jr. we dissected the texts of the books ASOIAF and gathered all the information that could be found about Harrenhal. Like a puzzle.
In long detail work, a true to scale castle was created.

In 2020, I asked the co-author Elio M. Garcia Jr. of "The World of Ice and Fire" if he wanted to work with me to create Harrenhal as a digital castle not yet seen in the series. He agreed :)

The Tagesspiegel has managed a very brave and deep examination of our exhibition:
"Sven Sauer experiments with the morality of his buyers".

The article shows all facets of the installation. Very worth reading :)

Diesen Samstag schaffen wir einen besonders kontroversen Abend. Ein Sammler und ein Spekulant treffen in einem Streitgespräch aufeinander.
Bin gespannt, wie der Abend verlaufen wird?
Die Tickets sind kostenlos.
Schick mir einfach eine Nachricht, um Dich anzumelden.

Für mich einer der wichtigsten Kultursendungen…
„Deutschlandfunk Kompressor“ hat einen Bericht über uns gebracht… wahnsinnig gut produziert. Hört ihn Euch an.

The opening weekend of Tulip mania is done... in the first 48 hours more than 1000 visitors were there to see what happens with the NFT artworks :)

Der RBB Kultur hat einen 6 Minütigen Bericht über die Installation gebracht, die Morgen Abend eröffnet wird... ein wirklich guter Beitrag, der all die Aspekte aufgreift, die sich hinter Tulip mania verbergen...

Simulation as the colorful tulip fields turn into a white ash landscape.
With each sale of the artwork, it dissolves a bit.

Are we all art lovers or speculators?
The discussion about this has been going on for a few months now: Are NFT artworks bought as speculative objects or are collectors concerned about the art?

The magazine TIP Berlin has brought a review about the exhibition Tulip Mania :)

"Artist Sven Sauer deals... with the crazy mechanisms of markets, crashes, burst bubbles and irritations in the art trade."

Imagine a work that destroys itself, when you resell it.
TULIP MANIA is an installation born out of the speculative bubbles and chaos of our time.
