Artist feature Bureau Mirko Borsche

Sebastian was born in 1975 near Stuttgart, Germany. He studied pedagogy and now supports social and care workers. It’s a bit of a cliche but true: his grandfather gave him his first camera at the age of 12 or so, and since then photography has become much more than just a pastime – it’s a love and a passion, a way to express his feelings. Sebastian specializes in street, landscape and portrait photography. He is located in Schorndorf, a small town in the south of Germany.

The students and staff of the MA Identity Design study programme at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences believe in the inspiring qualities of communities, their own as well as those anywhere on this planet. Moreover, it’s what they focus on. Their course provides a space for the in-depth study and critical discussion of collective identity in its various forms of expression and appearance. Students develop a deeper understanding of identity shaping processes in social, cultural and economic contexts. They are encouraged to combine methods derived from artistic and design practice with techniques from the social sciences to gain new insights into and create tools for identity driven communication.
