Meet Our Creative Collective — A Vibrant Team of Co-creators

For more than three decades, our handl.e pictures founder and visionary artist Ernst Handl has been designing and implementing art actions across the globe. Inspired by the unifying power of creativity, Ernst brought together brilliant minds to form the collective now known as handl.e pictures.

The roots of our collective are deep — stretching back to the early 90s, when we were known as Story-Dealer. Over the years, we’ve evolved our name and honed our approach, but we’ve always kept our core values central to make sure that everything we do stays true to our analytical, creative, participatory and sustainable nature.

When you choose to co-create with our collective, you know you’re going to be working with creative experts who’ll use a combination of art, craftsmanship, creativity and co-creation to encourage collaboration and a deeper sense of meaning. Check out our profiles below to meet some of the imaginative minds you’ll be working with.
