Antje Hohmuth's puppets have their own unique style: they are usually recognisable by their long faces. When being performed, small details often move somewhat uncontrollably, but organically. This makes the puppet appear more lifelike. Hohmuth worked as a set designer at the puppet theatre in Zwickau and for film and television from 1973 to 2011.
