Even if you have impressive height and weight, and in cinemas people grumble unhappily if they have to sit behind you, there is such a place in the world where you can feel not just a short person, but tiny, tiny. You just need to be at an exhibition of sculptures Lilian Bourgeat, which creates truly gigantic household items, as if intended as a gift to Gulliver from grateful midgets. Despite the fact that there are plenty of such overgrown sculptures in the creative practice of Lilian Burgo, the most famous is the project called Gulliver's Lunch (Le Diner de Gulliver) … This is the most ordinary table with chairs, covered with a tablecloth and lined with dishes with a variety of dishes, with the only exception, all of this is disproportionately large, in other words, gigantic. Indeed, only people with an inhuman appetite can eat from such dishes and such portions. At this table, even overly plump food lovers will feel like little gnomes.
In addition to giant furniture, dishes and cutlery, the Lilliputians prepared for their Gulliver and other household items of the appropriate size. So, among the sculptures of Lilian Burgo there are huge boots and an incandescent lamp, pushpins and glasses for watching stereo films, street benches and road signs, in general, everything that ordinary people are used to using in everyday life. Still, the most popular exhibits at the exhibitions in which Lillian Burgo participates are huge rocking chairs. A long line of people wishing to climb the impromptu attraction invariably lined up for them, and not only children, but also adults strive to have fun in this way.
The works of the talented sculptor are presented in art galleries in France, Germany, Switzerland, as well as in a number of other European countries. You can see these and other giant sculptures on the website dedicated to the work of Lilian Burgo.
