Works
A curated entrance into Florian Mehnert's practice: participatory projects, data works, installations, drawings, photographs and paintings are presented as connected forms within one continuous investigation of perception, interaction and society.
Data Structures
Works in which traces, movement profiles, protocols and invisible infrastructures are condensed into visual or spatial form.

Works on Paper
