Urs Fischer — Sigh, Sigh, Sherlock!
Urs Fischer

Sigh, Sigh, Sherlock!

A monumental sculptural work by Urs Fischer, *Sigh, Sigh, Sherlock!* combines plaster, fiberglass, and brass to create a characteristically disorienting interplay of material and form. Fischer manipulates these industrial and traditional substances to blur the boundaries between the solid and the ephemeral, the familiar and the uncanny. The work exemplifies his ongoing investigation into transformation, entropy, and the psychological weight of objects.

plaster, fibre-glass, brass
