“Sebastian Rex’s stylised and darkly comical worlds can, at first glance, seem simplistic. Presenting an array of deliberately flat, archetypal characters that speak largely in clichés. Interaction is driven by the characters’ narcissistic goals, which they strive to achieve by trampling over or ignoring others. When they build relationships, it is purely to fulfil their own basic wants or to bring to life their personal worldview. In this way Rex keeps the audience on their toes. Rex's writing manages to be both exciting and irritating, getting under the skin and forcing us to confront his themes head on, raising many questions but never providing answers, deliberately laying down a challenge to all who encounter the work.”
