Urs Fischer elaborates on the creative process behind his public installation "Wave."
"Wave" was installed at Place Vendôme in Paris from October 14 through November 30, 2023, as part of Paris+ par Art Basel. It is the sixth sculpture in Urs Fischer’s series "Big Clays." Despite their imposing scale, these works always begin with a small piece or pieces of clay shaped in the artist’s hand. Fischer describes this process as “a sensual and repetitive gesture, like a bodily motion,” which he ends prior to conscious intervention.
