Florian Hoffmeier is psychiatric physician and director who's work spans from experimental dance into theatre and film. 

​

After studying Medicine in Germany, Portugal and Brazil, he completed a doctorate at Goethe University Frankfurt's Institute for Social-, Work-, and Environmental Medicine.  For the past ten years he has been working in clinical psychiatry and child- and adolescent psychiatry.

​

He has staged around a dozen experimental dance- and theatre works; his debut short film AFUERA was screened internationally and received, among other recognitions, the Best Experimental Short Award at the Berlin Short Film Festival 2023.​

​

Alongside his clinical and artistic work, he is the author of the forthcoming book "Consensus – Towards a Language of Mutuality" which investigates philosophical foundations of moral communication. He also writes about normative diagnostic labels in psychiatry and their implications. ​

​

His artistic work is based around power dynamics in families and social systems and how people construct shared meaning through language and behaviour - or fail to do so.  

 

His work has received public funding and critical recognition. It involved collaborations with institutions such as the GandhiServe Foundation, the German Association for Socio-Cultural Work (VskA),the European Guild for Culture and Medicine, and the Centre for Arts & Sciences Montevideo GEN.​
