About me
Sybille was born in former East-Germany. Career start as a writer and she studied at the former elite writer’s school Deutsches Literaturinstitut/ DLL, the only college for writers and authors in the German language-speaking region.
Produced and published two art collector books under her own label Deja-vue in 1993 and 1996, one of which can be found in the collection of the Schiller-National-Museum in Marbach am Neckar/Germany.
Also qualified in manual book binding and four colour planning-photo montage, with years of experience in printing and publishing. A short career as theatre actress followed.
‘In her (early) artistic work we see combinations of language and image, in her explicit inclusion of language and written word she sees a possible development of communication.’ (Astrid Klein)
‘The questioning of the trustworthiness in word and image creates distrust as a possible prerequisite for the investigation of human perception and communication.’ (Arno Rink)
Her later photographic artistic work is based on art story telling and is fashion related, including fashion styling, props/costume and art direction. Sybille works as an entrepreneur and freelance photographer, creative project and art-director and graphic designer in London and with international teams and talents.
Formal education as a writer, in art and photography from the The Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig/Germany and Mixed Media at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London/UK. She completed further educational courses in art fashion, styling, advertising and art direction from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.
