Summer Wagner
Summer Wagner is an artist from the rust belt region of the Midwest, United States. Her work considers the spiritual, ecological and technological feelings pressing a post-industrial world. Wagner builds narrative worlds captured through lens-based mediums and manifests the image into digital artifacts, installation pieces, and limited editions or single edition prints. Her theatrical, story-driven pieces blur the line between fantasy and reality and beg the viewer to consider the hidden and subconscious themes layered in each piece of her work and ultimately in everyday life.
Midamerican Fever Dream
Like burls on a tree, twisting and gnarled, the vignettes in Midamerican Fever Dream show us the dark beauty of scars, resilience and awkward healing. With the camera, we cut into four characters' inner worlds as they undergo a transformative experience of theatrical self-reflection. In a fresh and innovative use of transmedia storytelling Midamerican Fever Dream will be released over four 'Waves'. The story will unfold across ten 1/1 NFTs, ten 1/1 physical-only artworks, and a 250 edition Doppelgänger-enabled collection powered by Transient Labs that will bring collectors along for a dynamic and evolving journey with each new Wave. Together, the collection asks questions that pry into the cliches of cultural dogma, the delicate nature of family dynamics, and the quest for personal change in a feverishly normative landscape.
The Parody of a Tangled Thread
Exploring the various characters present in an ambiguous subconscious landscape, The Parody of a Tangled Thread considers memory, time and landscape as active handlers in the creation of a self.
