About Imprint Links

Julian Berger (Vienna, AUT) studied at the Institute of Art and Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. His work navigates the intersections of architecture, research-led design, and filmmaking. Through his investigations into ecological themes, data-driven processes, and infrastructural networks, he crafts meticulous visual narratives that reframe how we perceive the landscapes temporarily entrusted to our care. In his latest film project, he was out and about in the mountains, hijacking the artificial alpine landscape by decoding the infrastructure of alpinism. The animated short film Erratic Lands challenges conventional notions of infrastructure as hidden or concealed. Instead, it explores how such interventions can act as catalysts—making complex climatic processes more visible and open to interpretation.
