La ficción distópica de Gregor Schneider

Abstract

The artist's youth, Gregor Schneider (Rheydt, 1969), has not supposed an obstacle at all to build along two decades a disquieting extremely personal universe. In this microcosm different thematic passages such as the Sinister and Sublime concepts, from the everyday-life to extraordinary experiences or from the real to the fictitious thing are juxtaposed. In recent years, however, we have attended to a conceptual tum in which it is reflected of systematic way on the duplication. To it, it is necessary to add the gradual visibility of Schneider's works joined to a displacement towards the critic of a tenebrous and threatening political space. In the following text, we intend to make a balance of the artist's work by analysing afew examples: Haus u r (The U r House), Die Familie Schneider (The Schneider F amily), and the cubic proyects in different countries.
