Ute Schröder Born in 1940 in Bad Aussee (Austria). Lives and works in Ibiza (Spania). "Bergsteiger" (1996), Ute Schröder tirelessly produces meticulous, enigmatic assemblages (of ropes, wood, textiles, and diverse objects) which have to do with her native country, Austria, and which hark back to different biographical episodes, over which they are supposed to exert an occult power.
