Life

Scholz was born and grew up in Dresden, in a family that had been dedicated to woodcraft for several generations. At the beginning of the 1980s he studied building engineering and painting / graphic arts in Dresden. He studied additionally graphology from 1987 to 1988 with Ingeborg Rudolph in Leipzig. In 1989 he went to Munich, where he had an teaching position from 1990 to 1991 at the University of Television and Film (HFF). He works since 1992 for different European TV-broadcasters, for instance Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, the Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen and ARTE. 1994 he founded together with Meinhard Prill the film production company Sic! Film GmbH and shot his first theatrical feature film “Shadow Seeker”, a story about his childhood in Dresden. His artistic work is conceptually tied to photography, as well as multimedia installations and is basically figurative in the area of painting. Connecting elements are movement, time and space, that brought him to create multimedia performances with dancers. 2001 Scholz went to Mexico City. He is married to the Mexican dancer, choreographer and manager of the Centro Cultural "Los Talleres" Isabel Beteta De Cou in Mexico City.
