Christian Ruschitzka (*1962 in M???rzzuschlag, Austria) is one of country's most extraordinary artists. As a sculptor, he circuits the concept of sculpture with as much wit and irony as he does with criticism and reflective thought.

The artistic (re)arrangement of the elements of these objects makes visible their form of usage and calls to mind the effort that went into their manufacture.
