Roman Signer_Sleeping

Roman Signer’s sculptural happenings, devoid as they are of nostalgia, reference or history, are usually received with a marvellous grin. Conventional narrative is displaced by simple Signer happenings such as a floating plastic bag, a rolling barrel. When approaching his work, we are prompted not to question what is happening, but whether it is happening at all. What we are presented with is not encompassed in the trinity of past, present, and future, rather it is a one-off event.
