Schiørring carries a strong conceptual and poetic voice in his films. His works revolve around the invisible structures that shape our lives: the social patterns, the paradoxes of sustainability and the landscapes of thought itself. His films are not just portraits, but poetic investigations of how we live, think and relate to each other.
Art and Science
Art and science have always been connected by a shared curiosity about the world. They approach things differently, but both aim to explore, question, and understand. When they meet, they open up new ways of seeing and thinking—blending insight with imagination. Sebastian Schiørring has worked at the intersection of art and science since his first show in Copenhagen in 1992. Since then, he has created installations and video works at renowned venues such as The Fridericianum, Wiener Secession, Kölnischer Kunstverein, Kunstverein in Hamburg, The Yokohama Triennale, Manifesta, Aros, Statens Museum for Kunst, and many more.
Documentary:
Sebastian Schiørring started his career in 1992 as a journalist at the National Danish Broadcast Corporation (DRTV). His films often take complex subjects and make them easy to understand. By bringing together different perspectives and focusing on the people at the center of the story, he creates documentaries that both inform and move the audience.
Commercial Work:
VELUX – Who We Are
VELUX’s values were clear, but connecting them to daily work was the challenge. Instead of a typical values film, we created authentic portraits of real employees living these values, earning a Platinum Award for “Corporate Image.”
Partnering with VELUX’s commercial team, we matched each value with real actions and identified employees who embodied them. From over 10,000 staff, we filmed 29 people across 16 countries, capturing unscripted, genuine stories.
These award-winning films also anchored an employer branding campaign, with each employee featured in their own short film.
Vestas – corporate and employer branding
From EXPO 2000 to a global website and employer branding, we’ve supported Vestas’ remarkable journey. For its 30,000 employees—whether in Beijing or Colorado—a shared identity connects diverse roles and cultures. Clear value propositions align global values with local needs, offering safe jobs in China, family support in the US, and long careers in Europe. A bold CVI broke industrial norms and featured in films during Obama’s “Green Energy Push.”
Corporate branding, Employer branding, Product launches.
Coloplast is a company committed to making a global impact. For over a decade, we leveraged their dynamic communication platform to create core concepts and impactful films featuring end-users and staff across departments.
We developed marketing toolkits—mainly films, plus stills and articles—tailored to users, medical professionals, sales, and HR. These covered every stage from pre-launch to post-launch, including innovation films, 3D animations, kickoffs, and how-tos, all aligned with Coloplast’s mission.
Network concepts
DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation), founded in 1925, is Denmark’s leading public service media organization.
In 1995, Sebastian Schiørring created the concept for DR2, following extensive analysis of Danish and European TV markets. He also developed a white paper for the relaunch of DR1. DR2 was designed to contrast the broad appeal of DR1 with a sharper, more distinct identity—featuring breaking news between programs and a new programming flow. This rethinking of public service broadcasting helped DR2 become one of Denmark’s strongest media brands.
