"I feel a burning desire to break the spell and to
step out into the open to take a deep breath of
the fresh salty fall air. As I feel the wind
caressing my lungs, I hear Nebe’s “Totems Toons”
uttering a faint, sardonic chuckle."
The essay "Tunes of Trauma" by Rebecca Schoensee

Others have none yet fields they waltz through are

"Nebe in a clever move takes the reason prisoner,
only to appoint reason to be the king of his game
of chess. He calls for a close review of the
encyclopedia of our philosophical and cultural
foundations. In his opinion reason has the
potential to direct a path away from the horror
vacui he is depicting."
The essay "Gaming Into Mindfulness" by Rebecca
Schoensee analyses the interaction between pattern
and words on the screen and viewer´s
expectation in Joas Sebastian Nebe´s film
"Machine Fair".

The essay "Schattenhaus, Ein Nachtstueck" by art
historian Rebecca Schoensee
The essay is about shadow house sculptures and
figurative paintings of the 1990´s
It´s only in German available
"Schattenhaus" article, essay by
Rebecca Schoensee (in German only)
Only avalable as printed version:
"Yet although the imagery is tied to a concrete
city, it is not subjected to common perception.
Rather than sharing the spectator's perspective by
listing popular sights, Nebe alienates the
familiar by picking four scenes consisting of
static (architecture) and moving (traffic)
elements, in order to fragment, rearrange and
precipitate them almost beyond recognition. This
blend of a specified and an abstracted site
parallels the audio-visual experience of a person
not familiar with the sights, sounds and speed of
urban life. Overwhelmed by the size of
architecture and the dynamics of traffic such a
person would hardly be able to focus on individual
human beings. Consequently individuals are
substituted by dummies – indistinct shapes
constituting “just another brick in the wall.” "
The essay "Machine Fair by Joas Sebastian Nebe" by
Charlotte Lindenberg focuses on the overwhelming
Machine Fair´s images´s impact on
viewer´s perception.
