His work was featured alongside notable pieces by artists such as Elmgreen & Dragset, Yayoi Kusama, and Le Corbusier.
In June 2019, Siedentopf unexpectedly appeared in the music video for the song "Mine Right Now" by Norwegian singer Sigrid. Originally set to direct the video, Siedentopf ended up starring in it due to Sigrid's flight cancellation.
