Micha Laury

My shadow expands trough the mind body space of the other 1967-2013.

Israeli-born visual artist and sculptor Micha Laury has lived and worked in Paris since 1974, though he began working as a self-taught artist at a kibbutz in 1967. The profound experiences in Israel during the first two decades of his life have proven fundamental to his multidisciplinary artistic development and critical stance towards practices in contemporary art, most notably in breaking with conventions governing representation of the human figure and its familiar morphology. This dense, exhaustive and beautifully laid out monograph presents countless examples spanning Laurys entire oeuvre, and includes critical essays by Anne Tronche, Galia Bar Or and Hans-Günter Golinski.
