About me
What I do
I art direct, I make concepts, I animate type, I love lighting, I edit, I do VFX and I am always happy to learn new tools.
My videos & installations have been exhibited and screened at Cut Out Festival (Mexico), Festival of Lights (Berlin, GR), Shnit Film Festival (Bern, CH) and at TSL (Hudson, NY) amongst others.
My focus lies on 3D-, 2D-animation, directing and projection mapping. My video installations and projection mappings were shown among other at the Festival of Lights, Berlin.
My shortfilms won several prizes (UNICA prize) and were screened at several film festivals like the film festival shnit in Bern or at the group video art show „Qu’est ce qui se passe“ at TSL (NY).
My main interest lies in the possibilities of hybridity in moving images. Combining new software & constantly learning new techniques is what I like best.
I'm part of the digital creative collective "The Good Life Collective".
