Mathias Will initiated and founded the St-Pauli film festival in Hamburg in 2005. Recently he worked together with Ralf Jurszo on the development of artistic tours by feet and released his short experimental film "Erbse", an electronic cooking recipe. In 2008 he produced "Pension for words", an interactive installation, where people can get rid of. His texts focus on special concepts of the world, outlaws and complete poetic worlds. He is interested in the fringe and not so much in the middle. It seems to him that new things are often developed at the fringe and seldom in the center. Further more he states that in his opinion, a mixture of extreme distance and nearness is needed to be able to write down poetry.
