Dipl.-Des. Josefine Köhler
* 1992 in Frankfurt


Hi,
I am a graduate scenographer and stage designer. I do installations in diverse contexts, as well as settings for film, theater and performance. My focus is on site-specific installations in institutional or even more in public spaces, where I deal with the architecture of the public sphere and the visibility of power structures. I take on both conceptual and/or technical parts. Please feel free to contact me for a collaboration.
