'Through the igloo motif Merz explores the fundamentals of human existence: shelter, nourishment and humanity's relationship to nature. He examines the lost purity of pre-industrial societies as well as the changing, nomadic identity of modern man. Merz's igloos are comprised of diverse materials including the organic and the artificial, the opaque and the transparent, the heavy and the lightweight.' http://www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/britannia-street-2006-02-mario-merz/
