SPL KLN

Currently, I am the creative director at SCHAUSPIEL KÖLN, a contemporary theater at the intersection of performance, visual art and multimedia.

I was responsible for rebranding and and now oversee the continued development of the SPL KLN brand under the artistic direction of KAY VOGES.

„Since the 2025|26 season, the Schauspiel Köln (SPL KLN) has quickly repositioned itself as one of the most exciting theaters in the German-speaking world. Voges and his team are bringing new impetus to the city — artistically, politically, and digitally. The theater sees itself not only as a stage, but as a place of social debate where art, journalism, and the public meet.“

Kay Voges and I have been working closely together since 2019, including five years at VOLKSTHEATER Vienna, where we developed numerous disruptive video campaigns.

“KURIER will "bis auf weiteres" auf Kritiken aus Volkstheater Wien verzichten. Auslöser war ein Video durch den Volkstheater-Intendanten Kay Voges - Volkstheater.”

My work as a Creative Director began by supporting local bands and artists I admired through music videos, album artwork, promotional clips and PR stunts, all DIY and without real budgets.

Since then, I’ve continued to collaborate closely with other artists on their visual identities, often in long-term processes, developing aesthetic languages that emerge from within the work itself and remain true to its core, not driven by trends, but by a distinct, sometimes challenging force willing to take risks.

Later on I started working on commercial campaigns for brands like YAMAHA, MCDONALD’S and T-MOBILE.
At the same time, I always supported politically driven projects with NGOs and initiatives I believe in.

If I had to name one project that is especially close to me, It would my campaigns for DIE BIERPARTEI.

Together with MARCO POGO, whom I have supported artistically since the early days of his band TURBOBIER, we hijacked several political campaigns with videos, memes and PR-stunts, until we suddenly found ourselves holding actual political offices in Vienna.
