Cyrus Lamprecht is an absurdist writer and artist with relevant experience in the areas of copywriting, curating, broadcasting, graphic design and illustration. He is the author of Safran Mélancolique with awards and publications in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia and United Kingdom. Trained in Philosophy and Art Theory at Central Saint Martins, he has the aspiration of constructing his absurdist philosophy and exploring the possibility of metaphysical rebellion in the modern society through writing and art-making. Cyrus held his first solo exhibition at the age of 20 and continued to participate in multiple group exhibitions around the world. His most recent performance was seen at the Tate Modern (Tate Exchange). He is also the founder of Episolipsism, an art movement that meditates on the Absurd and Lebensphilosophie.
Hope is an absurd dilemma if humanity is meant to suffer. The acceptance of despair could be the hope for satisfaction. Through reinterpreting the philosophies of Albert Camus, Arthur Schopenhauer and Michel de Montaigne, Cyrus Lamprecht purposes despair as a form of hope through solitude.
