Mario Tischhauser
SONO SCULTORE, IO! For a lifetime. Motto: See. Touch. Understand. Create.
Driven by a lifelong calling to understand, shape, and challenge form, Mario Tischhauser operates at the radical intersection of master craftsmanship, academic science, and fine art. His work merges paleoanthropological research with sculptural practice to execute a profound dissection of society—both physically and psychologically — making evolution and the raw transformation of matter tangible.
AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF DISCIPLINES
RESEARCH FOCUS: HOMININ HANDS & TOOLS
In this current body of research, paleoanthropology and art merge into a singular functional unity. The reconstruction of fossil hominin hands from monochromatic plastiline is far more than science: it is a #MiseEnAbyme. The living hand of the sculptor shapes its own evolutionary mirror image — its very own tool.
«It is the search for that precise moment when the anatomical grip on a tool also shaped the mind. A quest for the origin of both creativity and destruction.»
