born Stuttgart, 1955
Born in Stuttgart in 1955, Philipp Wieder worked in advertising agencies as a designer before founding his own creative agency in Nuremberg as a freelance artist specializing in photography and multimedia, where he has been based since 2013. Interested in nature and the Far East, he made numerous photo and film series on these subjects and often exhibited in collaboration with other artists. He successfully participated in numerous photography competitions and gave lectures on the topics that preoccupied him, illustrated by photographs and films. In recent years he has been interested in how the passage of time changes the appearance of plants and their conventional beauty, and has photographed and filmed flowers in particular, from the bud stage to the dry stem, regardless of whether they bear fruit or not. 1970-73 Apprenticeship as a typesetter 1976-78 Training as a layout artist 1978-80 Apprenticeship and years of travel in various typesetting studios 1981-92 Head of the graphics department at Kreissparkasse Ludwigsburg 1993 Move to Nuremberg and step into self-employment
