A manipulation of something that we already know and something that we have a specific sense about has always been at the heart of Daniel Arsham’s work. In his work, the familiar and the surreal, the architectural and the artistic, the alteration of the ancient and the re-evaluation of history are common and constant themes. Defining his work Daniel Arsham explains that he does both art and architecture. “There is a lot of the work that manipulates architecture and causes it to do things that it is not supposed to do,” he explains taking us to his works where the walls look as if they are melting or rippling.
