Gregor Schneider — Wanne
Gregor Schneider

Wanne

1993

A claustrophobic, enclosed structure constructed from wood, plaster, paper, plastic, and dirt, Wanne embodies Schneider's signature obsession with architecture as a psychological and unsettling force. The work encases its materials within the artist's own frame, blurring the boundary between sculpture and built environment. Dense with layered, decaying surfaces, it evokes a sense of entrapment and the uncanny domesticity that defines Schneider's broader practice.
