Description

When you turn the corner and look up, a pair of tiny eyes stare back.

Cement Eclipses is an ongoing project by renowned artist Isaac Cordal. Through the simple act of miniaturisation and thoughtful placement, he invites pedestrians to search for his sculptures on the street to expand their imaginations.

Tiny men and women are suspended and isolated in poses that take on a multitude of meanings. Opening doors to a new world, these figures are strange yet familiar, easy to relate to and laugh with. Around 20 cm in height, these figures represent the local population.

The figurines highlight the imperfect construction of our society and the absurdity of our existence through a tiny lens. Tucked in unusual and unlikely places, they are waiting to be discovered. How many can you find?

Isaac Cordal’s project is supported by Embajada de España en Malasia (Embassy of Spain in Malaysia).
