Julian Hölscher’s work emerges from the interplay between the fields of technology and audiovisual communication. His competence lies in determining the core of a matter and translating it into a visual appearance. Julian Hölscher develops concepts for cross-media installations and shapes precise corporate design applications – always with a keen sense for the respective context. Projects are often accomplished, with his network of partners and interdisciplinary professionals.
Julian Hölscher draws from years of experience in object-, graphic-, and motion-design while always remaining curious to find new contemporary aesthetics. His craft is the art of storytelling. These narratives consist of time, sound and images that are woven into a dramaturgy or decoded into a visual identity.
