More than twenty years ago, Schang Hutter left his hometown of Solothurn to work in Hamburg and later in Berlin. His delicate wooden figures, as well as large sculptures in public spaces in Hanover, Thun, and Montreux, are examples of his diverse work, which addresses people’s fears as well as historical references. Today, the sculptor lives in Genoa. This artist portrait explores the influences on his work and uses snapshots to highlight important stages and turning points in his artistic career and life between 1982 and 2007.
