Summary:
Markus Schinwald (*1973) is one of the most important contemporary Austrian artists. His works, independent and very wide-ranging, have already been presented in numerous national and international solo exhibitions. Since the end of the 1990s, the human body has become the focus of his works as a projection surface for the individual being and as a shell that can be manipulated, and in which you have little trust. Schinwald's work playfully combines very different media-from magical mystical films and photographs, via prosthetic fashion designs, down to revised historical paintings and anthropomorphic sculptures-in rooms set like stages with complex interactivestructures.
