Gregor Schneider — Kopf, Bauch und Darm
Gregor Schneider

Kopf, Bauch und Darm

1997

A haunting assemblage by Gregor Schneider, *Kopf, Bauch und Darm* (Head, Stomach and Intestines) is a work rooted in the artist's obsessive reworking of domestic space and bodily experience. Created between 1997 and 1999, the piece incorporates painted cardboard and glass, materials that carry an unsettling tension between fragility and containment. True to Schneider's practice of layering time and process into his work, the dual dating inscribed on the separate elements hints at the slow, accumulative nature of its creation.

Medium
titled and dated 'Kopf, Bauch und Darm '97-99' on the painted cardboard; further dated ''97' on the glass
