Christian Piffrader
Christian Piffrader miniaturizes people, places and things: either by carving them out of long thin poles with dimensions of 2 x 2 cm or by carving an entire street scene. He presents in his work different obsessive perceptions of living space: the view of the facade of a house as well as into a house.
