therhumboogie:

By Urs Fischer, an exact replica of Giambologna’s 16th-century sculpture The Rape of the Sabine Women, made entirely from wax. The sculpture set to slowly, hauntingly melt and form a blob by the end of the show. The clever wit and comment from the melting spectator is wonderful, for me the forming textures on the surface of the wax is most interesting. It almost looks like a chemical reaction forming on the surface of stone.
