Work

The
„timeguards“ of the Austrian artist Manfred Kielnhofer are the top of a some
years lasting development. Dealing with room-concepts, sculptures and
installations on one hand and the being engaged with mystic experiences and
religion on the other hand lead the artist to these strange characters. 2006
the first of these figures was created. It reminds us of a walking monk, who
seems to be lost in something. Kielnhofer puts his timeguard in public places
like ancient castlers, old mines, main squares or in parks. Kielnhofers
„timegurads“ come and go, nobody knows where they appear the next time. They
let us never forget that we are always watched. (Critics by: Martina Gansterer).
2009 Kielnhofer develops a new sort of act photographs. Therefore he builds a
waterplate in his studio, where he can take photos of models sitting or lying
likely on a mirror. One photograph has been printed in the Kronen Zeitung in
June 2009.
