Keinmal mehr suchen, 2022
Pre-Diploma, Animated Movie
Watch





This hand-drawn illustrated film explores the themes of losing, searching, and finding. It reflects on the emotional value objects hold for me and the feelings connected to their absence. I searched for objects I had lost and, when finding others instead, questioned to what extent these found objects could replace the ones I was originally looking for. The animated film was presented in November 2022 as the main project of my pre-diploma.




This hand-drawn animated video follows a small tree that realizes it is part of a miniature world made entirely of plastic. Everything it believed to be alive is revealed to be artificial. The film explores the moment when familiar surroundings lose their sense of authenticity.

Handdrawn Book
This illustrated book is about losing, searching and finding. It is a story about the meaning of objects and what it means to find the right counterpart. It reflects my personal process and also the thoughts I had when I started working on my pre-diploma. The publication is mainly about an object I found, a water wing.


The little Sin, 2026
Poster
