Inspection (from Instructions on how to be politically incorrect)
2003
A suited figure performs an absurd act of self-inspection, pressing his face directly against a wall in a gesture that conflates bureaucratic compliance with physical submission. Wurm transforms the body into a site of comedic yet unsettling instruction, reducing human behavior to a series of arbitrary, rule-bound poses. The chromogenic print, housed in the artist's own frame, extends Wurm's signature "One Minute Sculptures" philosophy into a deadpan critique of authority, conformity, and political correctness.
