Q & A

what are the risks?
Is there some physical danger in the smashing first and then what about feelings of more alienation than already in IKEA?

you should wear eye protection and some shoes to not hurt yourself physically. everything else is about getting familiar with your alienation.

Artist Statement:

The work of Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld jestingly deals with the spiritual and scientific imagination. It reflects on different kinds of knowledge-, control- and truth-production, constituting and reproducing our human „self“ in the world. Her method is an appropriation and recomposing of concepts. In order to create new meanings and perspectives, common structures are sliced up, analysed and put back together in a different way, using oracular technics and alchemical experiments. Approaches from various fields find themselves included in her practice, like amerindian perspectisvism, natural science, religion, archeology, mythology, magic and technology. The work includes a wide range of mediums like photography, print, slupture, installation and performance.
