Pedro Wirz: Forever Was Today (Bilingual edition)

Clay and straw meet dolls and Legos in Wirz’s sculptures on threatened ecosystems

The child of an agronomist and a biologist, Swiss Brazilian artist Pedro Wirz (born 1981) creates installations from organic materials and artifacts of the consumer world. With his combination of paradoxical elements, Wirz brings back the original familiarity that used to exist between science and mythology.
