Jonas Bornhorst & Alexander Pfeiffenberger are the minds behind the multidisciplinary design studio “Bornhorst & Pfeiffenberger” based in the north german hanseatic city of Bremen. 2018 both graduated from the University of Arts Bremen in the the Masters Program “Language & Communication”.
In their work with Illustration, Animation, Graphic Design, Installation, sound, space and objects they are cultivating an antipatriarchal aesthetic that in a playful yet critical way, exposes humankind to a trojan horse full of centaurs which is knocking at the gates of your mind.
Driven by experimentation & intuition they believe their practise is altering between excessive normality and discipline, staged chaos, confusion and instinctive creation.
