Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images.



About the sculptor
Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo, and the Jim Henson series The Storyteller.

    • dazzling statues

      I don't even believe dat such kind of statue maker would be existed in this world. I first thought that the boy was a real boy. It's realistic and fanatic. Good Job.

      He looks like that one creature from lord of the rings... (My precious!!!)

      That guy should be on Ripley's Believe it or Not! If that isn't already done :P

  • what a creepy job

    imagine working on these silica's late at night by yourself? SCARY..

    By accordblaze 1189663114
    • I have to disagree..

      I am an artist myself (not a sculptor though) and I look at my works as if they were my children... they *are* my creations. I have nothing to fear. It's them who look (in my case) up to me. =)

  • the girl at 1:12

    i wonder if she was nude

    By nollie snaz 1189655083
    • He meant 1:21

      You all are complete morons. While he did say 1:12, I'm quite certain he meant the girl stretching at 1:21 right after the baby. If you didn't notice 12 is 21 backwards!

      You all jump to a conclusion that hes a "child molester" and sexual deviant, when, in reality, he is just dyslexic.

      However, you seem to be having fun making poor assumptions, so feel free to continue sounding stupid.

      By Del26 1192642925
    • Yeah...

      Yeah when you move the little bar on the video rather than just playing it the woman appears under 1:12. Also for the record, she is naked and catrike I think I can speak for everyone when I say you are an idiot.

      By QuinnW 1194816025
    • yeah, typo. sorry

      i know wat i mean

      By nollie snaz 1194066636
    • Yes, the girl at 1:12 is nude--

      that girl was me

      By andy1400 1194825496
  • so what do you do???

    im a father and every day marvel at my creation, im also a plumber and every day im happy with what ive done. but this is beyond effort and art. the detail. this artist is one history should note.

    By pismire 1196998604
  • It's nice but

    Special Effects houses have been doing this type of stuff in movies for decades - think 'King Kong' holding Fay Wray or laying dead on the street - or a space worm crawling into Chekov's ear in 'Star Trek' - or a dead arrow-riddled Oliphant in 'Lord of the Rings - or . . .

    By ewigkase 1189743712
  • I don't understand this!

    And I think that in order to do so, you must actually be there, right on the excibition site! A picture of a sleeping (dead?) head doesn't tell me anything - the video maker must do that work for me.
    Fantastic artist.

  • I just ate some eggs.

    I beat them with a sliced chicken breast on a frying pan. Added salt and pepper.
    It was nice.
    Irrelevant? These pictures didn't show me much, unless you just watched the first seconds. Most of this video's contents was just closeups of what might or might not have been artwork.
    What I did understand was just magic though, really and truly.
    One star, sorry.
