Jean-Frédéric Schnyder began producing experimental objects in the late 1960s within the context of pop art and has since gone on to create a broad oeuvre encompassing photographs, sculptures, paintings, objects, and installations. Conceptually open in his artistic process, each new series of works he creates leads to a new experimental arrangement. Accordingly, Schnyder does not adhere to an overarching concept but meticulously focuses upon his subject, thereby coming up with ever new conceptions. The result of this unique openness is an oeuvre full of discontinuity.
