“The absurd can leap out at any person on any street corner” 
— Albert Camus

Erwin Wurm is one of Austria's most internationally renowned artists. His work is inextricably linked to the "expansion of the concept of sculpture." Erwin Wurm rethinks sculpture by exploring the boundaries between sculpture, photography, film, action, and performance, between three- and two-dimensionality. Media such as photography and video play a crucial role in his work, reflecting and addressing the ephemeral, process-oriented, and temporary nature of his "sculptural actions" and transforming the performative into the object-like. He refers to his photographic works as “Photographic Sculptures.”
