The artistic practice of Sebastian Neubauer is not limited to Film/Video and performances. But certainly it is the core or root of the body of work. Adjacent fields are experimental writings, conceptual sculptures, musical events, staged photography or philosophical analysis. Those get connected and mixed together to a multi layered chaos.

The détournements are often full of references to pop music and pop culture.
