His works, with which he explores the boundaries between sculpture, object and performance, are of great visual power, easily accessible and at the same time raise existential questions. Often they invite the viewer to participate or are a document of this interactive aspect. Central topics for him are questions about the constitution of reality and identity: To understand people as self-determined individuals is a fiction for Wurm. The central component of the volume will be Wurms Narrow House, which was shown at the 2011 Venice Art Biennale. Wurm built his parents' house true to detail - but narrowed to a width of just over a meter - and thus symbolizes the (small) bourgeoisie and the narrow-mindedness of a typical single-family home. Visitors can experience the narrowness of the province as they can squeeze through the house. The volume is supplemented by graphic works as well as the One Minute Sculptures, which are so central to Wurm's work: drawn instructions by the artist encourage people to adopt unusual, bizarre or amusing poses with the help of everyday objects and thus become a living sculpture themselves for a short time." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword and acknowledgements, by Thomas Kohler; Erwin Wurm's One minute sculptures and other living artefacts, by Ursula Strobele; From Fabio getting dressed to the Drinking sculptures: shape and sheath in Erwin Wurm's oeuvre, by Anne Bitterwolf; Erwin Wurm's theatre of sculpture: visitors as actors, by Thomas Kohler.
