Meet Urs Fischer. This talented Swiss sculptor has installed his very famous sculpture in 2011 at the Venice Biennale. At the first look, it seems like a regular sculpture that is found in galleries and museums. But if you look close enough, you will find that they are not just sculptures, they are candles!
This is built as a recreation of Giambologna’s sculpture “Abduction of the Sabine Women”, which dates back to the 16th Century. But after the artist set these figures on fire, it turned into a totally different piece of art that melted onto itself.
