Sascha Schniotalla

* 1976 in Bremen, Germany

The works of Berlin-based artist Sascha Schniotalla reflect spatial constructions and explore their influence on processes of perception, meaning-making, and significance production. The focus is on strategies of presentation and representation, as well as the conditions under which visibility and visuality are constituted within spaces.

Schniotalla operates within the realm of artistic practices of abstraction and minimal art. However, even though these references may seem formally evident, he employs methods of abstraction and reduction to juxtapose them with concrete, often architectural contexts.
