Through the simple fact of miniaturised and well-thought-out placement, Isaac Cordal magically expands the horizons of the passers-by who come across his sculptures in the street. His exhibit Cement Eclipses proposes a critical definition of our behaviour as a social mass. Our relationship with nature is severely called into question, though some installations also let us see a ray of hope.
His statuettes present fragments of our daily routine, depicting men and women suspended in their movement. The precariousness of these anonymous silhouettes, at shoe height, is like a nomadic relic from a society in the throes of illness. The figurines contemplate the destruction / reconstruction of all that surrounds us. They draw attention to the absurdity of our existence.
The city is both playing field and decor, where Isaac enacts, in a surprising manner, with poetry, humour or irony, the banal or more tragic moments of life that grab our attention as we walk along the street.
Isaac Cordal is an artist and sculptor from Galicia in Spain. He is member and co-founder of several collectives focussed on urban and digital arts: alg-a.org, alg-label.com, ludd.alg-a.org
