Dasha by Urs Fischer
Urs Fischer’s art reflects underlying inner conflicts and contradictions through the shifting of material, the coexistence of beauty and ugliness, modesty and clumsiness, grace and load
Dasha 2018 is Dasha Zhukova life-size candle. During the exhibition, specially placed candle wicks are lit, and human figures slowly collapse into pools of wax oil — a visceral reminder of the ephemeral nature of life, beauty and art.
(Before lit)
Fischer’s candle sculptures are captivating in their materiality and haunting in their implications; they serve as both portraits and meditations on time and gravity, life and death.
“A wick at the top of her head will be lit, and the candle will slowly melt over the course of the exhibition. Additional wicks strategically placed on the figure will be lit until the sculpture is reduced to a pile of wax drippings.”
The time each visitor visited was different, and the state of the work was different.
Into ashes…
Idea: The passage of time, Life and death, Beauty is changing over time
