German artist seeks subject willing to die for art
A controversial German artist known for exploring death is searching for a
dying volunteer to take part in an upcoming installation: taking his or her
last breath while on display.
"Unfortunately today, death and the road to death are about suffering. Coming
to terms with death — as I plan it — can take away the pain of dying for
us," artist Gregor Schneider, 39, told the online edition of German daily Die
Welt.
Schneider specified that that he is not just looking for anyone: the
volunteer would have to fully understand the intention of the exhibit and
have things in common with the artist himself.
Also, he added that he would seek the blessing of the volunteer's relatives
and strictly control the location.
"It would be a private atmosphere with rules about visitors," said Schneider,
who has been contemplating the installation for more than 10 years.
He is also looking for a gallery willing to serve as host.
Schneider won the prestigious Golden Lion Award for sculpture at the 2001
edition of the Venice Biennale contemporary art fair with his evolving work
Dead House ur: a labyrinth of rooms, secret passages and dead-end corridors
based on his childhood home that he continually constructs, dismantles and
rebuilds.
Other notable artworks of his have also explored death and engendered a
general feeling of unease among patrons.
Schneider won acclaim for Hannelore Reuen, a sculpture of a dead woman, and
also created Man Cock, a chilling sculpture of a sexually aroused male corpse
half-shrouded in a garbage bag.
In 2007, he raised an enormous metal enclosure on Australia's famed Bondi
Beach that encouraged sunbathers to segregate themselves into
four-by-four-metre "cells."
A current Parisian exhibit of Schneider's forces individual visitors to enter
into a series of progressively smaller spaces until they end up in complete
darkness and must find their own way out. The entire experience is captured
on film.
