Daniel Knorr delves into the relationship between performance and everyday life, between public versus private space, between artist and public. Thoughts, ideas and feelings, but identity too, language and text - all contribute to the realization of his art.
In 2008 he provided a remarkable contribution to the Berlin biennial. He made a site-specific installation, a colorful 'necklace' for the monumental roof-cornice of the Neue Nationalgalerie, comprising nearly sixty flags. At first sight, an innocent looking bar-code, but behind which lurks a none too innocent history: each of these flags belongs to one of the many German student fraternities that swam through the wake of the 20th century.
