Roman Signer

Roman Signer is a Swiss artist known for his sculptural installations, performances and videos. He studied at the Zurich School of Design.

Roman Signer's work is characterised by a sense of humour and playfulness, as well as a fascination for the unpredictable and uncontrollable forces of nature. He is best known for his "action sculptures", which involve setting up various objects and then exposing them to explosive or other kinetic forces, such as water or fire.

Roman Siegner explores the relationship between the sudden release of energy and tranquillity, between order and chaos. Physical forces such as gravity and propulsion energy are challenges for the artist and the tools he relies on to realise his sculptural ideas.
