At the moment, I’m working on my final project: in it, I looked at how knowledge is passed between different generations of feminists and how we can deal productively with generational conflicts. Specifically, I shot a series of interviews in which older feminist activists from my hometown engage in conversation with younger people from the region.
I get to draw far too rarely, unfortunately, but I update my Instagram every now and then with illustrations and prints: @paula.brgr

Was born in Ludwigsburg in 1994. From an early age, he made his first attempts at animation, using stop motion to bring his “Lego Star Wars” sets to life. Since then he has never stopped animating, although the materials, technique and content have evolved at least a bit. After graduating from high school in 2013, he completed 6-month internships at “Studio Film Bilder” and “M.A.R.K.13”. After the internship he stayed as a “Digital Artist” at “M.A.R.K.13” until October 2017. He has been studying at the art school since 2017, with the aim of expanding his creative and dramaturgical knowledge based on the technological knowledge he acquired at “Studio Film Bilder” and “M.A.R.K.13”.
In his work, he mostly deals with topics related to the relationship between humans, nature and technology. His technique of choice is 3D animation, which he also likes to combine with 2D animation.
In addition to the animation class, he is also in the editorial design class.
