Abbey library
Delving into the secrets of century-old books

My work is focused on making videos and podcasts about science and technology topics. I specialize in developing explainatory video formats for mobile viewing, mixing animation and documentary styles. I studied filmmaking and animation at Zurich University of the Arts and began working as a video journalist at SWI swissinfo.ch in 2004. Since then I have specialised in creating different styles of animation for our visual products.
St Gallen abbey was dissolved in 1805 and has since become a Unesco world heritage site. The monastic library is one of St Gallen’s biggest tourist attractions, featuring such treasures as the oldest book in German and the earliest complete musical score, as well as important holy manuscripts.
