Paper cut animation

For Berlin Jazz band Field I made a paper cut animation for their song "Dresden", the first title on the album "Someone talked". I used tons of cut outs of black paper to create this stop-motion film.

For Berlin Jazz band Uli Kempendorff's FIELD, I designed the album cover for LP and CD with papercuts. The title "Someone Talked" gave me the visual inspiration of insects' communications in a large field and underground.

Gloria: a musical performance with animation

Gloria is a theatrical project by hirche/ krumbein productions and the POMPFÜNEBRER. Pompfünebre describes a very musical, theatrical and glorious funeral. I made the paper cut animation, which was projected on the singer's/actor's skirt. Text, idea and costume by Kathrin Krumbein. The performance premiered at Schaubude Berlin on July 1st, 2017.
