Daniel Spoerri — Br3 Flüssig feucht (Liquid moisture) (from the Trompe l'oeil series)
Daniel Spoerri

Br3 Flüssig feucht (Liquid moisture) (from the Trompe l'oeil series)

A provocative assemblage by Swiss-Romanian Fluxus artist Daniel Spoerri, this work incorporates everyday and intimately charged objects—condoms, their packaging, metal, and an elastic band—affixed to a canvas coated in oil paint. The piece draws on Spoerri's signature "snare-picture" approach, transforming mundane or taboo items into a frozen tableau that challenges the boundary between sculpture and painting. The title's reference to "liquid moisture" adds a layer of sensory and erotic suggestion, reinforcing the work's playful yet subversive commentary on consumer culture and bodily experience.

Medium
condoms, packet, metal, elastic band, and oil on canvas
