Social Geometry

How do humans organize themselves? Using a three-meter monopod and consistent overhead perspective, this series tells stories of food culture, ritual, and human gathering. From solo café to contemporary dining, each photograph reveals different patterns of organization.

About Artist

Sebastian Kahnert

I am a photojournalist based in Dresden, Germany, specializing in overhead documentary photography. Working from approximately 5 meters above—using a 3-meter monopod extended overhead—I document the spatial patterns of daily life. The height is deliberate: high enough for true overhead perspective, yet accessible in intimate indoor spaces where drones cannot operate. The overhead view reveals a hidden beauty that ground level misses. From above, markets become geometric grids, factory floors reveal their choreography, workshops display their spatial logic, and public events show their organizational structure.
