He studied Art History and graduated in Fine Arts in 2011 at the Braunschweig University of Arts. In 2012 he was awarded the Master Student Degree during his postgraduate studies. In his videos and video-installations, he analyzes the images and language of the advertising industry creating characters whose identities are located in a fight between self-determination and a heteronomy forced by consumerism and advertisement.

In his film and video installations Marko Schiefelbein analyzes the language and images of the advertising industry to extract its impact during the process of the construction and reproduction of identity in our consumer society.

Using re-translations, modified re-enactments and linking new correlations that are mainly sourced from found-footage, he confronts us with characters whose identities are located in a fight between self-determination and heteronomy forced by consumerism and advertisement.
