Bio

Sam Tahmassebi (London, United Kingdom) is a visual artist working in a range of mediums including photography, sculpture, paint and installation. His practice is influenced by questions of society, psychology and philosophy, and their interconnectedness. 

His last and longest series, Instamythologies, used Instagram as the medium, exhibition space and point of critique, questioning the reverberations of ‘likes’, manufacturing hyper-reality and the consequences on society.

Chaosmotic, his current series explores the impact of commercialism and the Internet on consciousness and reality.
