can I come too…?

can I come too…? is an exploration into the intertwined relationship between society and its urban environments. Drawing from Teinert’s observations through long walks, he exposes the intricacies of urban movement and challenges the societal norms that shape our interactions. Teinert is captivated by the transient nature of our built environments and the authoritative undertones embedded in their design. The work encourages observers to question the authority and motives behind urban planning that influence our behavior and interactions. Utilizing various techniques such as still image, painting, and sculpture, Teinert depicts these urban interactions in an ambiguous, thought-provoking manner. Ultimately, he aims to highlight the dance society performs within the urban atmosphere, revealing the power dynamics of our shared spaces and sparking a desire for active participation in shaping our urban landscapes.
