VIER APFEL / FOUR APPLES encapsulates, on an intimate scale, concepts central to all of Signer’s works: anticipation, action and transformation. Roman Signer aligns sculpture with time and records the results with photography or video to create what have become known as “time-sculptures”. The four apples hang quietly before Signer’s calculated explosion causes their thread to break. Will each fruit fall at the same moment? Will they fall into the holes as planned? The four C-prints freeze the moments in this process, showing Signer, as ever, exploring the essence of cause and effect.
