Typical of Georg Winter's work are temporary laboratories, urban situations, self-organizing performances and research projects in an interdisciplinary field of work. Georg Winter's goal is the "anastrophe". In contrast to the disaster, the world is improved by the disaster. To do this, Winter takes to the streets, he often works in hot-spot districts. With his work he makes people happy and anastrophic their lives. He likes to work in groups, as he is convinced that artists achieve their specialty not through isolation, but through differentiation in the joint work. The special thing about Georg Winter is his rousing way with which he wins people over and inspires them for his work. When he accepts a new project, he first tries to understand a city before starting a performance. He tries to involve people in his work and thus becomes an integrative personality. Georg Winter's work is described on his personal page on the HBKsaar homepage as follows: “Typical of Georg Winter's artistic practice are temporary laboratories, research facilities and projects from the art context and other scientific disciplines, with which contemporary formulations of plasticity are developed. His highly differentiated, reduced sculptural repertoire does not use a classic concept of sculpture, but understands the medium as a sculptural form of organization and action. Georg Winter is one of the world's most interesting artistic personalities who, in the field of sculpture, expand and redefine the limits and possibilities of the artistic medium. Winter's concept of sculpture is not limited to the traditional understanding of a material-bound physical design in three-dimensional space. Rather, the artist works at the interfaces between sculpture and media art, thus opening up new formal and content-related potentials of social relevance for the medium of sculpture. "
