In the artist's words:

Tobias Schorcht, born in 1990, is a teacher of sport, geography and German as a second language. A globetrotter, adventurer and free spirit, he broke out of the German school system to earn his living as a travel journalist and adventure educator. He lived in Scandinavia and Taiwan for a year and hitchhiked from China to Thuringia by train. He hiked through the Alps on foot along their longest north-south axis. Outdoor sports such as white-water canoeing, climbing and cross-country skiing are among his passions.
