Introducing
The 'ghost busters'
Searching for nearly forgotten Creatures
Florian Schäfer
Florian is the driving force behind Forgotten Creatures. The biologist has been fascinated by the sagas and fairy tales of his homeland since childhood. In his artistic work he combines his knowledge of anatomy and ecology, as well as his in-depth knowledge of cultural science. In this way Florian creates unique creatures and spirits that give us insight into our own cultural past.
Janin Pisarek
Janin is a folklorist and responsible for the scientific quality control at Forgotten Creatures. She studied folklore, cultural history and educational science at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. Her thesis on wolves and werewolves in narrations / stories and German folk belief, including the current return of the wolf, received the Special Promotion Prize from the Märchenstiftung Walter Kahn.
Hannah Gritsch
Hannah is a communication designer with a focus on photography and graphic design. With her unique style, Hannah manages to breathe life into the sculptures of Florian in a fascinating way. She is the competent contact person for all graphical and aesthetical issues and supports the project with her experience in the advertising industry.
