Attracted by the aesthetics of subcultures, music, and the zines and symbols of counterculture, Malte Zenses follows a cross-media approach. His work critically reflects the zeitgeist, evoking a sense of disillusionment—one rooted in the realization that societal collapse is man-made, driven by power and greed. His inspiration emerges from socio-political research, notes, places, or snapshots, embedding personal references that invite the viewer’s own interpretations.
