Projects

Since 1990 he has been working in particular on the development of "art of perception". Paul Schwietzke wants to show the "dodgy poetry" of everyday objects he sees on excursions. To achieve the "art of perception" he developed a "technique for designing the mode of perception". According to his own statements, he puts himself in a “twilight zone”, a “state between dream and wakefulness”, a “form of rapture that arises when one is empty”. In this emptiness he is “completely open to the subtle aspects of things”, which then enliven his mind and urge him to somehow embody himself.
