By using day to day objects, video, design and photography, Erwin Wurm\u2019s work solidly questions contemporary sculpture. Imbued with a dramatic sense of humour, his work pushes ordinary moments into the absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obsessed by human capacity to \u201csculpturally\u201d transform, he applies those human characteristics (thinness, obesity) to social features, like a car or a house. For him, objects, like human, undergo a thought process. Do objects have a soul? Erwin Wurm replies with a resounding \u201cyes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.estuaire.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wurm.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"587\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estuaire.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/wurm.gif\" alt=\"wurm\" class=\"wp-image-1001\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Work created for Estuaire 2007<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erwinwurm.at\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.erwinwurm.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canal de la Martini\u00e8re, inaugurated in 1892, was built to reach Nantes\u2019 port more easily.
