Studio Yannick Nuss is a graphic design studio focusing on the creation of books, visual identities and exhibitions. My practice as an artist and designer explores the relationship between pop cultural phenomena, gender representations, and media with a special focus on cinema and cinematic methods of storytelling. In my work I adopt methods of media reflflection that use design as a stage for the visual and performative processing of material. A stage organized as a spatiotemporal sequence that the spectator actively opens up by moving between text and image, creating new ways of interpretation and readability. These methods of visual storytelling are positioned at the intersection of media theory, concrete poetry and pop art.
