Creating the transitory and non-durable is one of the fundamental concepts that typifi es the Skulptur Projekte every ten years. The coming together of people and art in public spaces has been at the fore since the very fi rst exhibition in 1977. In particular, works of art from the last three editions of Skulptur Projekte have evinced an increasing interest in the human body as an artistic material, along with participation of the public. In addition to performances, works were also created in which people could interact, cooperate, and collaborate – visitors were allowed to actively take part or watch others. Involving people as active participants questions the status of the object and, within the artwork, reformulates the relationships between people and entities.
