Man with Cock
2004
A lifelike human figure, rendered in cast rubber and expanding foam, slumps within the confines of ordinary clothing and a garbage bag, blurring the boundary between the mundane and the deeply unsettling. Schneider's work confronts the viewer with themes of abjection, mortality, and the disposal of the human body, reducing the figure to something discarded and forgotten. The choice of industrial and everyday materials strips the form of dignity, forcing an uncomfortable reckoning with vulnerability and the treatment of human remains.
