He works with social phenomena, researches the information behind media reports and found footage, visits the places mentioned, and embarks on a documentation thereof. Oftentimes it is the brief dispatches and sideline reports from local newspapers-on things such as suicides, ships lost at sea, or killing sprees-that prompt Sven Johne to go in search of further clues. In so doing, photos, texts, videos, and archives are generated that are theoretically linked in his work and raise questions concerning their authenticity. For the exhibition "Sven Johne: Reports from the Crack of Dawn", the Frankfurter Kunstverein brings together several of the artist's most important series of works from the past seven years in one survey and his newest piece "Hafen (Harbor)" (2010), which he produced for the exhibition at the Frankfurter Kunstverein.
