Among the most influential artists of the post war period, Oppenheim was an innovator of several major art movements such as Land Art, Body Art, Installation Art and Public Art.

The idea of regeneration and continuous metamorphosis within a precarious universe are the basis of his artistic research.

His works are alterable, continuously changing the limits causing new senses of physical and physiological space, anticipating even science and medicine where the organ transplantation becomes more frequent.

Oppenheim’s molecular developments create a dialogue between artificial and natural forms. Everything is genetically modified. “His artistic expressions are not defined by the simple presence of the object, but rather by its transformations.

An entropic process, which expands knowledge creating a new perception of space and time. The existence of the thing-in-itself creates a radical change, grafting a mechanism of alternation and deviance.

What appeared stabile and resistant definitely enters in crisis creating an unstable state of being based on principles that tend to involve the state of being and enviroment itself.
