An artist with an international outlook Holger relocated from Germany to Scotland to study and then teach in 1996. In 1999 he set up his own company in Glasgow specialising in digital filmmaking for visual artists.

Amongst his many credits in 2002 Holger worked as a director for BBC Scotland with the acclaimed documentary ‘The Unofficial Envoy of the Tartan Army’. - A portrait of the Scottish artist Roderick Buchanan.

Holger was involved in last years Garden Gallery with an imaginative take on the project - bigthingsonthebeach.org.uk/gg07.

His photographic and video-work portray daily life from an unusual perspective.

Interested in exploring the routines of the people of Portobello in his application for the Garden Gallery 09, Holgar commented: "In my work I focus on the relationship between a landscape, rural or urban, its inhabitants and the way people (and animals) navigate, penetrate and occupy space in time".

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.

Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.

Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
