Va­len­tin Felder

Valentin Felder is a passionate stop motion animator, artist and inventor from Leipzig. In his passion project, the short film "The Gear in the Sand", he transforms hand-made figures and sets into a lively, dystopian steampunk world in which people and machines operate in a fascinating field of tension. Felder is self-taught in numerous craft techniques and has established himself in the maker community. His works are the expression of a unique artistic approach that combines technical innovation with artistic creativity. In a time when it is easy to feel isolated from society or even from physical reality itself, he advocates the creation of works in which the traces of craftsmanship make the creative process visible in the final product.
