Erwin Wurm

Erwin Wurm is an Austrian artist known for his innovative and humorous approach to contemporary sculpture and performance art. He often transforms everyday objects and scenes into conceptual pieces that challenge perception and question reality. Wurm's signature "One Minute Sculptures" invite participants to assume unusual poses or interact with objects for a short time, creating temporarily humorous or absurd artworks. His work explores themes of everyday life, absurdity, and the limits of body and space, encouraging viewers to reconsider how they see and experience the world around them.
