The Beautifully Imperfect Bronze Sculptures Of Bruno Catalano Are Not All There

ADVERTISEMENT

French artist Bruno Catalano has created an extraordinary series of eye-catching bronze sculptures called “Les Voyageurs” in Marseilles that depict realistic human workers with large parts of their bodies missing.

The sculptures were put on display in Marseilles to celebrate its position as the 2013 European Capital of Culture. They are skillful works of art even without the omissions, but the missing parts of the sculptures make them truly extraordinary and unique. They leave room for the imagination – are they missing something, or is it something that these “voyagers” have simply left behind? What’s especially impressive is that some of the sculptures seem to stand on very little support, giving them a sort of ethereal and surreal appearance.

Only ten of the life-size sculptures were presented at the port of Marseilles – many more can be seen on his website.

I feel that the persons depicted in the sculptures are carrying the rest of their bodies in their briefcase, luggage, or satchel.

I love it. It depicts a man leaving his family behind to work abroad so he can provide them a better life.
