Felix Schöppner

Felix Schöppner (b.1990) is an artist from south Hesse, Germany. In 2010 he started studying Communication Design at University of Applied Science Darmstadt with a focus on photography. He graduated in 2021 from university with a project about structures and shapes taken from photographs of german nationalparks to create sculptures and photograph them in a still life set. In his early career Felix worked with a focus on documentary and architecture, but since 2017 he works mostly in the genre of still life with a link to sculpture and installation. His work impresses with a high degree of stringency and perfection, both in terms of content and implementation. For him, photography is part of a comprehensive process in dealing with questions of human perception.

“Cognition was born out of an interest in exploring how to photograph something that is essentially impossible to photograph. I wanted to develop my own representations of specific topics in astronomy, with familiar objects as the content of the images, in order to make them more tangible to the viewer.” – Felix Schöppner, 2021
