“In his installations, sculptures and collages René Zeh pursues the superficial perfection of our present and reveals the discrepancy between the designs for a better world and their actual implementation. The coordinates of design, architecture and lifestyle are shifting in favor of a seemingly perfect, but essentially fragile environment that elevates living to a social arena in which modern subjectivity has to constantly exhibit itself.
