Synopsis

Hybrid spatial installations

Ruth Schnell’s work interrogates historical concepts of reality that are now being called into question by perception through an apparatus. In the field of media art, Schnell made a significant contribution to the understanding of this radical transformation: she went beyond the moving image, involved viewers in a participatory manner, and expanded object-like or sculptural art into immersive environments.

Deeply inscribed in her artistic approach is the reference to sociopolitical questions and the latest developments in technology. The monograph offers a documentary reappraisal and contextualization of Ruth Schnell’s work since 1984 and provides stimulus for enhancing competence in the field of media.

  • 40 years of media art production open up new paths and dimensions in a singular way
  • Extensive section on practice; with a preface by Peter Weibel and contributions by Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein and Claudia Giannetti
  • Digital link to the artist’s video archive via QR codes
