拍品专文

‘Melting, for me, is the process of slowly transforming their form into something liquid. It’s this change of medium, the hard form of a building becoming fat, which means the dissolution of order. It becomes something not anthropomorphic, not abstract, but rather amorphic. And by melting, changing into something liquid, it totally loses form. If it’s still in the process of melting, it’s like ice cream. It’s liquid in a way, but it’s softer in consistency, like a pudding that is neither too firm nor too fluid. I’m actually very interested in potatoes because they are amorphic unforms. There are thousands of different potatoes, but they are all very easily and very quickly recognizable. And yet their forms are different’
(E. Wurm, quoted in an interview with P. Zuspan, ‘Erwin Wurm’ in Museo Magazine, https://www.museomagazine.com/ERWIN-WURM [accessed 4th August 2014]).
