Urs Burki was a passionate photographer — his camera accompanied him everywhere he went, all around the world. The photography was often an end in itself, but also frequently served as inspiration for his sculptures and paintings. He was fascinated by the distinctive and extremely spontaneous, unique nature of Polaroid photography. The happenings (mainly during the 1970s) were a creative game in which the photograph gave participants the freedom to be part of the scene. Urs Burki‘s main interest in photography is telling stories and showing flows of movement, similar to a film clip. A great many foto-series realised by the artist during more than 30 years, permit the spectator to enter into his rich “fantasy-world”.
