Markus Schinwald
Born in 1973, Salzbourg, Autriche. Lives and works in Vienne & Los Angeles.
Markus Schinwald’s installations, videos, sculptures and performances address the question of the body and its interaction with space. Blurring all borders between the strange and the familiar, revealing a bourgeois world with its share of physical deviancies and prosthetic accessories, his works turn conventions, identities and sexualities upside down. The concepts of desire, voyeurism and fetishism, expressed both psychologically and in terms of performance, compel the alienation of the viewer.
