Old Sprelacart boards in different designs, insulators, used tarpaulin, as well as waterproof and resistant materials, constitute Christian Schönwälder’s visual language. He scoops to pursue the as necessary regarded strategy of building and doing handicrafts.
The padded cupboards, security cabins or shrink-wrapped foam mattresses seem to suggest a defence against unknown destructive outside influences. The period in which we live is full of visible and invisible threats, prompting the desire to build caves again, as we once did in our childhood. This desire finds its counterpart — perceived as a recommendation.
Some of Christian Schönwälder’s works take up the concept today’s longing for safety and intensify it to the absurd, while others redefine space and material.
