Schneider suffered a heart attack in 2021 during the COVID pandemic. After a prolonged hospital stay and emergency surgery in Mönchengladbach-Rheydt, he processed this experience artistically — as he has done many times before — by creating a sculpture from his medication. On top of the medication he placed a cast of his hand in a state of masturbation.
Bachelor machines, sexuality, and instinct repeatedly appear in Schneider’s works. For Schneider, they represent primal forces of artistic productivity.
