The well-known Swiss author Franz Hohler has written a play for the Bernhard Theatre in Zurich entitled “ÖV” (= public transport). Anyone familiar with Zurich’s main means of transport – the tram – will immediately notice that all the colors of the tram lines have been included in the campaign. Each tram number has its own color. The one or two-digit number is in Helvetica, just like the word “ÖV”.
THE COLOURS
Chris Cran
It was essential that the design of the book be sympathetic to the work of this contemporary artist. The halftone dot was chosen as an approach for the cover as this technique has been one constant in the artist’s multifaceted career. The yellow color sleeve was incorporated as a way to reference the many layers in this artist’s practice, and the use of one of the Chorus faces on the cover was a humorous nod to the visitor experience. A spot-UV varnish was used on the cover to give the image a three-dimensional quality similar to his works.
Hypnotic Prints
“Clear formal language, high contrasts and always trying to put as little as possible but as much as necessary on paper. Every line and every surface has its home. Sometimes they meet – by chance – other times they face or repel each other. Colours can further support or break these situations. The most difficult thing is to recognise and force these interactions. This is not always successful, but when such a moment arises, it is like a rush. “

This is a detail of a construction that layers found and generated print materials, randomly revealing elements through hand die cutting.
Illumination 223f

Reverie
The ‘Emergent’ series begins where a separation between elements ends. The formal transitions occurring to blend the feminine and curvilinear subjects reveal similarities that imbue the human portraiture with corresponding layers of depth. Built upon the sometimes-blurred edges of distinction, the work strikes at a place between communication and ambiguity, where the viewer can feel a story beginning to coalesce.
Alles könnte anders sein
Made in the past, arrived in the new normal. Season brochure for a public theatre: talent and passion meets confidence and optimism. Nearly 200 pages with all informations about the artists, the programm and the common targets of companions.
Marketing
The artwork is a collection of the everpresent marketing symbolism in our everyday life. I took these symbols out of their context to give them a place of their own. These symbols are so common to us that we tend to not see them and realize their artistic beauty. Inspite of their artistic beauty these symbols also represent the consumerism everyone is confronted with on a daily bases.

CP001 (Complex Product No. 1)
Hi! We are a visual studio that started out in the middle of a pandemic. To say hello to the world, we thought it might be nice to start off with something warm and cozy and tbh who doesn’t need a bobble hat? Also we thought something colorful on your head makes enduring, grey, long winters easier.
Victoria Park 2019
What does Victoria Park mean to you? I replied with just a word. Sunset.
The artwork has been selected for the All Points East Gallery 2019 and it has been displayed on the Festival perimeter wall.
with diplomatic measures
Even if violance has a strong pull on humans, when again and again we react with “proportionate responses” and see diplomatic measures as if at all complementary, we failed ourselves.
Breathe
Breathe was a project I started whilst in lockdown late 2019. It was getting to the point I was really struggling with being in the house every hour of each week and the affects of the events on family members and close friends was apparent also.
I was working around some designs that focused on the current events of the coronavirus pandemic and how lockdown was affecting everyone in one way or another.
Breathe was an idea that resolved around these vibrant colours streaming from the word Breathe. It was a gentle reminder to breathe, whether this be in the form of yoga, meditation, rest or any form of day to day life that would help you through those dark days.

Upward Spiral
When I am being asked why I draw these spirals, I’m often having difficulties expressing the motivation behind that habit. These spirals represent the trajectory of my life. This series alludes to the living being’s awareness of life and its impulses. All of these drawings were created during the pandemic of covid 19 and related to the lockdown in Berlin.
Like never before, we all re-discover depression and the dark sides of erratic compulsion, self-destruction, and sabotage. The emotional, spiritual and mental wellbeing can be on a trajectory to be nurturing and enabling, on a positive trajectory. It is all about movement, recommencement, and guidance.
The current situation can also be a ca
Decentralised Mass
We have congealed together like a packet of Skittles left in direct sunlight.
OVERTHINK
Don’t think too much about it, it’s an invitation to live life more lightly.
Especially seeing what is happening in the world in recent years.
We must be aware of the problems that exist at this time, such as climate change, wars and epidemics. But we must not be crushed by thoughts, which in most cases are negative, but try to react with a positive mindset. Thinking that it is a period of our life and that sooner or later it will pass.
Electric voyage

Sun worshiper
In this Pice I started a new way in my work. where I used already done pines and combined them in a way of collage to a Poster. The mood was to present a kind of demon in the center that is a Sun Worshiper, the Sun is here showed as the big yellow circle on the top of the demons head.
Diffraction
“Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening. It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture. The diffracting object or aperture effectively becomes a secondary source of the propagating wave.”
We are living in times of propagation, where events led us to see the light throught the obstacles in front of us.
