Necrophonia documents a collaborative exhibition by longtime friends Urs Fischer and Georg Herold at The Modern Institute in Glasgow during the summer of 2011.Transforming the gallery space into a studio, the artists created figurative clay sculptures based on poses performed by models from a nearby art school.For the duration of the exhibition, the resulting sculptures made of unfired clay, so that they cracked and started to disintegrate over time were exhibited alongside the live nude models they were derived from, activating the exhibition space with a charged human presence and establishing a relationship between the real and its representation.Published retrospectively after the exhibition Urs Fischer & Georg Herold at The Modern Institute, Glasgow, 2 July 3 September 2011.
