Work

" The Guardian of Time " Guardians of Time " of the Linz artist Manfred Kielnhofer are at the top of a long development. The constant struggle with concepts of space, sculptures and installations, as well as the study of mysticism and primal religions lead the artist to these his " Guardians of Time". 2006 was the first piece of that kind, which is reminiscent of a changing, inward-looking monk. Kielnhofer posted his characters like at special sites such as ancient monasteries, before castles, skyscrapers or in disused salt mines. Kiel Hofer's "guardian " appear and disappear, we can never anticipate where they appear the next time. So we should be reminded that we are never unobserved. Each of our actions be seen and evaluated by the guards. "

For this purpose he made in his photo studio specifically a water bath, which allows him the models along with their reflections to photograph in the water .. A photograph appeared as front page in the New York print edition EYES IN and more photos were taken in the Kronen Zeitung published.
