Willy Schulz

About: 

Willy Schulz creates special scenarios with everyday objects through reproduction or rearrangement. 
His work deals with the materiality, iconography and dominance of social values and constraints within the modern world in which we find ourselves. 
His form of presentation is mostly sculptural or installative up to whole exhibition concepts which deal with one certain topic (for example the exhibitions: Blood, Sweat and Shoes or La Scuderia). 
For Schulz it is important to witness that every action, every decision and every step leaves its mark: Every material has its history, every object has its history. 
It is not just any stone. It is exactly this stone. It is not just any piece of plastic but just this piece of plastic.
