Roman Signer

Roman Signer was born in 1938 in Appenzell, Switzerland. He is known worldwide for his "explosive" performances. Since 1971 he lives and works in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Since 1973 he creates and produces works that combine sculpture, performance, photography and documentary video. Fascinated by nature's strength (storms, wind, volcanos, geysers...) his experiments are powerful, poetic and often dangerous actions.

Using explosive material and helicopters, Roman Signer examines time, the fourth dimension. Veritable "time sculptures", each of his works is a display of mastery and a release of energy.
