Manuel Graf – In the footsteps of animation
Sonntag, 25 Februar 2018

Düsseldorf, 30 January, 2018. My studio visit today gives me access to a very special area of the Düsseldorf Art Academy. It is the top floor of the former Reuterkaserne, equipped with a high-quality render farm. I have an appointment with Manuel Graf, who lectures here and also develops his own cinematic and graphic works.

His works move between sculpture, painting and film, but are more vividly described with the term animation art, as I'll explain later.

After sitting down at the high-tech equipped desk of Manuel Graf, I carefully approach this unfamiliar topic.
