THOMAS SCHUTTE : KRISTALL II (MODEL 1:1)
Parallel with his better-known sculptural works, Thomas Schutte has since the eighties been creating architectural models sometimes on a human scale. Occupying a place between sculpture, immersive installation and architecture they often interrogate primary forms of shelter and their relationship to the human figure. Kristall II (Modell 1:1) is a modified version of a 2014 sculpture created out of copper and wood. Hinting at the crystalline form of snow and ice, the structure stands in such a way that to enter it is to be framed by it even as the sculpture itself provides a frame for the landscape outside.
