Born in 1958 in Berlin, Malte Martin studied fine arts in Stuttgart and Paris. He has taught visual arts and the history of art in Stuttgart, the concepts of images in Paris and written the educational programme in graphic design for the first visual art school in Marrakech.
In 1986, he moves to Paris, joins the Grapus studio in 1988 and then founds his own graphic studio in 1989 and Agrafmobile in 1999.
Agrafmobile is somewhere between visual and acoustic creation, gestures and
signs. “My wish is to re-create through this visual theatre a public place which
presents — as something to see and to read — something other than administrative
signs and commercial messages. An attempt to win back the public place as a
space of imagination belonging to those living in it.”
