ichI am a german Cologne-based creative who works across many disciplines and media.

The combination of visual perception and communication is one of my incitements in finding new motives and conceptions for photographs. A picture hast o tell a story or a picture hast to build a story in the beholders mind. In a world, that is powered by „faster, higher, further“, I see a progress in pausing. To create pictures and visual spaces wich invite the observer to dwell, to linger, almost to contemplate, are my objectives.

In the series “Sky” you see a photography of blue sky with a preposterous tiny airplane like a hidden picture puzzle where man and machine nearly disappear in the permanent ubiquity of nature. Or the hectic life of Manhattan becomes visual translated into a kind of wimmelbild, bustling, flurry, pacifying, strange and familiar at the same time.

(Natures and human) Humor plays a prominent role in my work. For example the series „Poledancing“ shows souvenirs of human engineering: Transmission towers which seem extraterrestrial and peculiar, since their fragile structures are planted into a solid and unconcerned nature.

And the answer to the questions “What is a surprise? Who leads Alice into a world of surprise and amazement? And what is cute and cuddly to everyone?” is of course “The White Bunny”. Name set.

Last words: All of the work on this website is mine. Please don’t steal. Just ask me.

“Fascinated by art Florian Müller, German photographer delivers us a series of original photos close to the painting.

Combining analogical and digital technique, he investigates the theme of the movement with precision and imagination. The representation of abstract landscapes evokes the unlimitedness but also the solitude.

He wants to give a new dimension to the photo, he gives free rein to the spectator to make his own opinion, the photographer explains us his photos through Ansel Adam’s quotation: ” There are always two persons in every image: The photographer and the spectator. ””

Beware Magazine, 27.11.2012

„What’s the next big innovation in photography? It seems 3D is old hat already (must admit I haven’t rinsed my yet to be purchased 3D cam).. Anyway, if you are in fact looking for the next big thing, look no further. Multivision is here. It’s all about layering, and Florien Mueller has created a series of these layered photos in his series of New York called “Multivision”.”

Lost Art, 03.10.2012

„I find Florian Mueller’s photographs intriguing. Yes most definitely. His ‘Transitus’ series is strange and compelling – they’re paintings but not. The images are of seascapes and landscapes, both using the horizon line as a point of departure. Each photo is split into two distinct parts: the divine element and the marine element, the landscape as a representation of infinity. An idea propagated in the 19th Century by the Romantic Movement in Germany.“
