Spanish artist Isaac Cordel's Cement Eclipses installations have appeared in urban settings around the world since the mid-2000s. As explained by art historian Peter Bengsten (2018), Cordel strategically places "small sculptures of human beings – often balding, briefcase-carrying, white men in suits – that are either painted in drab colours or are left in the grey tones of the raw material they are made from" so that passersby will happen upon them. As in this example, these miniature figures are sometimes juxtaposed alongside natural elements in the otherwise built setting, typically in poignant ways that highlight the contrast and conflict between industrialized living and non-human nature. Bengstrom (2018) explains, “Given the attire of the sculptures, which brings to mind that of archetypical bureaucrats, businessmen or politicians, Cordal’s installations can be interpreted as critical comments on the unsustainable, growth-based capitalist society which currently dominates the world economy. The artist’s work can be seen as a call for people to re-assess their anthropocentric values…” (p. 128).
