Since 2005 I use old used teabags from all over the world as my basic art-material.
In contemporary art and an visuell fine artist I have to be responsible for resources and health of the earth as the source of all nature and beings.
I am aware and responsible for my ecological footprint, and that's why I am working with old used material since my beginning art-life in my childhood, always creating new treasures out of old trash stuff. This Portfolio is showing the basic material from using old tried teabags
That's how the teabagpapers look after opening the teabags and put out the teaplants
Here I am working with the teabagpaper, creating a huge installation with 12500 single teabagpapersheets
12500 teabags for the installation "Weltenbürgerdecke" at the exhibition "Wahlheimat", 2009, HfG | ZKM Karlsruhe, Germany
10 years ago I began the artproject, "Come to the dinner - an invitation to all religions and nations" and the "world-citizen blanket" with collected used tea bags as basic material .... What is the philosophical background of this artproject? How did it start? Who supplies the tea bags? Where is the artproject today ... "The beginning ... the way ... the development .. the current state ... Is art from tea bags art at all? ... make your own sense on the spot ..
Seit 10 Jahren "Kommt zu Tisch - eine Einladung an alle Religionen und Nationen" und die "Weltenbürgerdecke" aus gesammelten Teebeuteln.... Wie kam es dazu? Wer liefert die Teebeutel? Wo steht das Kunstprojekt heute ..." Der Anfang... der Weg... die Entwicklung.. der aktuelle Stand... Ist Kunst aus Teebeuteln überhaupt Kunst? ....

My last home" is dealing with existential questions that have not only arisen due to the spread of the corona virus and the imposed contact restrictions, curfews, "prohibitions on practicing" professional activity as an artist and art educator ln the last 2 years. Through the temporary withdrawal of her livelihood, she became existential confronted with the meaning of her being, the finiteness of her life and the questions "How do I want to die?" "
This resulted in the works "My Last Dwelling" and "My Bucket List". She works on her "Shroud" in progress. "Renate Schweizer is one of the "eco-artists of the first generation", Dr. Carola Muysers, art historian Berlin." "The climate crisis no longer allows a single felling of trees. Not even for coffins. The Free State of Bavaria has lifted the coffin obligation on AM 2021. Since then, burials may also be carried out in a shroud. As an artist in_responsibility, I would like to make a fair contribution to compliance with the 1.5°C limit even after my death and I want to be buried in my "shroud". But not in Bavaria" "My last dwelling" simultaneously addresses the increasing gentrification of homes and the loss of home that drive many people into homelessness and despair (to the point of suicide)....
