Urs Fischer: Giant Wax Figure Candles

Thought this was kinda cool, yet strange and could reveal some tension in the art community through art...
"Urs Fischer is burning the art world down to the ground—again.

At Gagosian’s Davies Street gallery in London, the Swiss artist presents the latest iteration in his series of wax-cast art-world figures. This time, a life-size figure in the form of the Russian collector and Garage Museum founder Dasha Zhukova is seated in a chair and clad in a pink dress—that is, until she melts into wax drippings like a giant candle."

"Turning a sculpture into a giant candle, he says, is “a bit like a Rorschach test because what you see is variable, depending on where you come from or what day it is.” But for Fischer, “it’s not about the concept, it’s about the transformative process that takes place.” Whether you interpret the fire as a sign of life or view it as a memento mori reminder is up to you, he insists."

He's just planning to burn the candle down over the course of the exhibition
