Big Suit Departing was conceived for Berlin Schönefeld Airport. The project consisted of a giant figure—10 × 3.5 m—suspended inside the airport hall at a 50% tilt.

The “dummy” has neither head nor limbs and is completely hollow, allowing passengers to see through it. The work is highly realistic, with details such as buttons, eyelets, and fabric meticulously rendered.

This characteristic is typical of Erwin Wurm’s work, which partially distorts the reality we live in.

This type of “monument” is not intended to celebrate the common man; rather, as in all of Wurm’s work, it seeks to glorify an exorcism of everyday life—a celebration of a different reality, of visionary and distorted perceptions.
