Erwin Wurm's photographs are intriguing and random - they evoke a sort of half 'smile in the mind' technique' in that they always involve a familiar: a person and a random object, and a play: the odd way in which they interact. These are only half 'smile in the mind' to me because a true witty graphic would produce recognition, surprise and so on. These images simply supply a slight shock factor - a sense of questioning and confusion. For photographic development, I will definitely be keeping in mind his style of simplistic visual communication. If given a purpose, a story, then images like these could be pushed a lot further.
