Biography and exhibitions

I searched for my role models, found them and discarded them again. I wanted to discover my place and found it in between. Searching turns into finding, self-determination into a condition. Skateboarding, music, literature and the street, failure and experience are my teachers.

Stefan Stichler lives and works in Frankfurt am Main and Düsseldorf.
