Zaeri, Mehrdad |  | | | | Date of Birth: | 1970 | | Place of Birth: | Isfahan | | E-Mail: | artmehrdad@gmx.de | | Background: | - My name is Mehrdad Zaeri- Esfahani. I was born in 1970 in Isfahan/Iran.
On December, 24th in 1985, at the age of fifteen, I came to Germany with my family applying for asylum there.
When I finished school at Heidelberg in 1992, I decided to draw pictures for the rest of my life. I began to work as a taxi driver and to line up many expositions with my own works.
In 2001 I stopped working as a taxi driver and started freelancing as an artist. Since then I work together with artists and story-tellers on the stage at (dance) theatres, musicals, readings and concerts. I accompany their performance with my drawings which become generated and then projected during the event. So the audience can attend the creation of pictures.
Since 2008 I work as an illustrator.
A year later I founded the group KNOPFKINO with Enno Kalisch (actor and story-teller) and Friedwart Goebels (pianist).
Out of the moment stories are being improvised and told with visual, musical and spoken elements.
