Summary

Taking its name and its departure point from the 1933 Surrealist photographs of Brassaï and Dalí, Involuntary Sculpture: Process, Photography and the Ephemeral Object brings a unique Surrealist inflection to the rethinking of the sculptural object. This collection of essays questions the nature of sculptural practice, looking to forms of production and reproduction that blur the boundaries between things that are made and things that are found. One of the book's central themes is the interplay of presence and absence in sculpture, as it is highlighted, disrupted, or multiplied through photography's indexical nature. The essays examine the Surrealist three-dimensional object, its relation to and transformation through photographs, as well as the Surrealist object's impacts on performance and conceptual art of the 1960s through the present. Involuntary Sculpture sheds new light on the shifts in status of the art object, challenging the specificity of visual practices and exploring the boundaries between art and everyday life.
