About Florian de Visser - site stories

Florian de Visser graduated ten years ago with honours from Design Academy Eindhoven / Man & Public Space with an imaginative project that combines recycling with storytelling. Since then his focus is on 'site-specific storytelling': Florian tracks down stories from and about public spaces and shapes them into new forms. With his projects he aims to reveal the non-physical beauty of spaces and trigger the imagination of the audience. Fiction and reality always intertwine.
