  • Catalogue Essay


    I don't try to set up an illusion. It's more a consequence of how charged an image or a sculpture can be. The work has to have a life of its own: that's the energy of the piece, and that's what you have to be in service of. URS FISCHER
    (B. Curiger, M. Gioni and J. Morgan, Urs Fischer Shovel in a Hole, Switzerland, 2009, p. 61)
