3 into one. End of project - Roman Signer

Signer’s "action sculptures" involve setting up, carrying out, and recording "experiments" or events that bear aesthetic results. Following carefully planned and strictly executed and documented procedures, the artist enacts and records such acts as explosions, collisions, and the projection of objects through space. My favorite of the video works i have seen is this cheeky video below, his videos are integral to performances, capturing the original setup of materials that self-destruct in the process of creating a compelling event. Signer gives adds a humorous twist to this work and i aim to integrate some of his processes into my 3 into piece.
