the core of his artistic work is a standard tenement
building in rheydt, the so-called 'haus ur',
which he is constantly remodelling.
he construct rooms in already esisting rooms, build
walls in front of existing walls.
shifting the material is also an elementary component
of his artistic work: schneider transferred parts of the
'haus ur' to the german pavilion.
