'Spooning Couple'
The hyperrealistic sculpture is potentially one of the most disturbing things ive seen in a while. The sheer scale of the piece reinforces this perhaps because it is so small yet looks real.
The attention to detail and the impecible technical ability is outstanding and somewhat needs to be this way in order for the piece to work.
The disturbing realism of the piece is something i can only describe as the uncanny. Mueck appears to be the cultivator of the notion of the uncanny here as the scuplture are life like just not life-size.
