Roman Signer: “Action Sculptures”

This is some of the strange newer work by artist Roman Signer. The works are a bit obscure at the very least. In other videos he is being dragged in a kayak behind a truck until the kayak wears through.  Works such as these are “action sculptures” as they often leave behind some sort of aesthetic quality.   In the above video he is actually holding two fireworks in each hand. Much of his work is centered around the spectacle and surprise created by his pieces.  The “pieces” are videos of his demonstrations. One of his most obscure works is the below video, where he started 56 small remote controlled helicopters at the same time until the batteries ran out.
