In a career spanning 30 years, Schütze has exhibited his photographic and installation works in galleries and museums around the world, released over thirty albums of original recordings, scored a number of films and performed numerous concerts. He has collaborated with artists such as James Turrell, Josiah McElheny and Isaac Julien and musicians as diverse as Bill Laswell, Raoul Björkenheim, Toshinori Kondo, Lol Coxhill and Jah Wobble.

Dressing The Air is a unique open resource that aims to enrich creative thinking by encouraging a multi-sensory approach. A constantly evolving archive and creative news feed, Dressing The Air monitors and reports on a diverse range of art-forms from cinema to sculpture, painting to furniture design, land-art to perfumery.

At the core of our built environment is the relationship between the human body and the spaces we make to contain it. Parkour radically rethinks those relationships while also throwing our habitual journeys through and around the urban landscape into question. These compelling photographs capture perfectly the intensity, the poetry and the radical "reshaping" proposed by these spectacular physical feats.
