Lenard Schnitzler
What happens when clarity collapses?
When the visual system stops organizing the world into readable functions?
In this moment, objects lose their purpose – and the body begins to shift.
It no longer serves as a stable subject, but becomes a surface, a structure, a carrier.
Non-functionality is not failure. It is a release.
A body that vibrates, smokes, displays images – a body that no longer needs to justify itself through use.
The works explore this threshold, where function breaks down and perception opens. Dysfunktion becomes a strategy to interrupt expectation and create a space where meaning is unstable, and identity is no longer fixed.
