Biography
| Signer's "action sculptures" involve setting up, carrying out, and recording "experiments" or events that bear aesthetic results. Following carefully planned and strictly executed and documented procedures, the artist enacts and records such acts as explosions, collisions, and the projection of objects through space. Signer gives a humorous twist to the concept of cause and effect and to the traditional scientific method of experimentation and discovery. A recent example of his installation work was "Accident as sculpture" (Unfall als Skulptur)(2008). |
