About —
  1. I like the concept of concepting.


    Hello, my name is Miguel Ribeiro, I’m 24 years old and I live in Hamburg, Germany. I was born in Brazil. I like beef Jerkey, vintage clothes and vino. Among my top Spotify artists in 2020 are Queen, John Mayer and Daniel Caesar. I speak fluently in front of hundreds but hate how I sound in voice messages. My grandmother has 22 siblings and the names of my five aunts all end with the letter E. My favorite phrase in a professional context is "solution oriented", but it still takes me 20 minutes to decide on a pizza.

    Oh, and I design.

Found in Translation


The spatial installation “FOUND IN TRANSLATION” by Miguel Ribeiro transcends the boundaries of lexical translation: “saudade”, a word from Portuguese deemed so untranslatable to date that it finds no proper counterpart in any other language. So, the question remains: How is it possible to make something understandable if one’s own vocabulary is not sufficient?
The complex design project addresses an innate communication problem that can lead to a social divide between different cultures and, simultaneously, a lack of conceptual understanding that contributes to many important factors, such as cultural identity. The audience is invited to experience a new kind of translation – on a sensual and emotional level.

Our Gaze


A project about young adults and teenagers, their relationships and love stories. Photos and videos capture people like you and me. The idea is to express the feeling of struggling to find your place in this world, especially when you’re young. Who do you love? What even is love?  And who even am I?Important is to consider, that it’s not from the perspective of already grown ups, but teenagers and young adults. The movie and photos are made by people who are trying to figure it all out and for people who are doing just the same. It’s not ‘teenage gaze‘, but ‘our gaze‘.

Static x Dynamic


How do statics and dynamics correspond to each other? This question was the starting point for my exploration of form and color. What makes a picture dynamic and what must happen for a picture to start moving without really moving. My poster series shows an interesting interplay of movement and stillness, which is otherwise reserved for animation.
