TAL R - "EGYPTIAN BOY"

"I have been working on something I call the Egyptian Boy, and it started when I was watching a young boy, he has a big foot and a very small ankle and when you look at that kind of leg you understand, the foot is speaking about the future - the rest of the body will sooner or later grow to the same size of the foot," says the Danish artist Tal R about his latest project Egyptian Boy, a 60 pages paperback book with 60 illustrations in color.

This Artist Book is an exact copy of a notebook Tal R has been working on for the last three years. The Egyptian Boy is dealing with the body broken down into bits and pieces; nose, feet, knees, hips, genitals, throat, arm and so forth. The body being one for a second and then broken for a thousand seconds.

The Egyptian Boy book is also the source for a group of ceramic sculptures that Tal R has been working on. The sculptures were shown for the first time in March 2013 at Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin.

  5. I’m intrigued by Tal R’s Egyptian Boy. The concept of a growing body catching up to a big foot is fascinating, and I’m curious to see how it’s illustrated in his book.
