Marcel Boer is a photographer & creative developer based in Cologne, Germany. He was born in 1993 in Freudenberg (Germany). His photography work is about nostalgic moments and the beauty of the world, all with a dose of endless hedonism. He is also focused on building clean and well designed websites with modern frontend technologies & has a good eye for web/ux-design.
I am an artist and graphic designer. After working for over ten years for institutions in the culture and art sector such as the Barbican Centre and the Institute of Contemporary Arts and then the leading arts publisher Phaidon, I set up my design and art studio in 2015. I split my time between design commissions and producing my own artists books.
I did Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College in London, and History and Aesthetics of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona. I’ve worked in a magazine, an art gallery, an international art biennial, a museum, a news agency and a university. At some point in my life I realized that my dream job didn’t exist so I decided to invent it.
I work as Content Director in visualMAG, an online cultural magazine that emerges from the fascinating encounter of the Internet and the creative industries. But that is only the beginning. The second part of the project, visualMANIAC, will magically appear in a few months. You're gonna love it.
