The Papermaker

Keeping you in the loop with the most interesting finds from across the web this week : In a basement in Berlin-Kreuzberg, Gangolf Ulbricht makes tree- free papers by hand for international artists like Jenny Holzer.



I don't know about you, but I am a huge fan of documentaries; back before Netflix, video platform Vimeo was one of the only ways to access content from outside New Zealand. They have a section called 'Staff Picks' that highlights some of the best content Vimeo has to offer.


"The Papermaker“ is a short documentary about one of the last handcrafting paper makers in Europe and his great love for paper. Gangolf Ulbricht makes unique tree- free papers by hand for international artists, conservators, photographers, printers and many more. He learned his unique craft in Germany, Japan, France and England. In this short film we see him producing his fine paper in his basement studio in the Arthouse Bethanien in Berlin-Kreuzberg. He talks about his love and dedication for this craft - and it ́s future.


Gangolf has worked for a number of known artists like: Jenny Holzer, Louise Bourgeois, Guenther Uecker, Jonathan Meese, Damien Hirst, Christiane Baumgartner, Matthias Weischer and many more.
