Artist Peter Regli is known for his Land Art installations and interventions. He has created works all around the world, oftentimes anonymously. His project Reality Hacking, begun in the 1990s and still ongoing, consists of almost 300 different actions which are translated for the most part, as a monumental sculpture. Regli’s aim is to disturb or ‘hack into’ our daily life by making free use of overly popular figures which he often places in the most unexpected of locations. This marble Teddy Bear subverts or undermines our traditional image or preconceptions of a teddy bear as being soft and cuddly. Here, Regli creates an imposing, immobile sculpture, made from a cold, heavy material.
