GREGOR SCHNEIDER
Die Familie Schneider
In two unremarkable houses in London's East End, Gregor Schneider constructed a remarkable new work, Die Familie Schneider. 14 and 16 Walden Street were identical in every way. They had the same rooms and furnishings with the same cracks and stains, inhabited by the same families doing the same, unseemly things.
Die Familie Schneider could only be visited alone. Amongst the visitors who made their way through the intensely claustrophobic rooms were the writers Andrew O'Hagen and Colm Tóibín. Together with an extended series of stills from inside both houses by Gregor Schneider, their writings attest to the disturbing experience of Schneider's dark double houses.
