Bliss (2017), a larger-than-life sculpture of Katy Perry by Urs Fischer, is the result of a collaboration between the two artists, after Perry asked Fischer to create an artwork for her most recent album release. The sculpture will be in continual flux over the coming weeks, subject to reconfiguration through the intervention of visitors, who are free to add and subtract from the work as they wish.
