Sabīne Šnē explores the intersections between culture and nature and is particularly interested in the relationships between humans and more-than humans. By weaving together scientific research, contemporary theories, and fiction, she creates worlds that highlight entanglements in ecosystems and multi-species intelligence. Šnē has a broad interdisciplinary practice that combines video, 3D animation, sound, sculpture, and drawing.
