Absalon
1964–1993
Absalon was the name adopted by Israeli artist Eshel Meir upon his arrival in Paris in the late 1980s. His “cellules,” life-sized architectural models made of wood and painted white, were designed as both sculptures and living-pods. Six of these were exhibited at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris shortly before Absalon’s untimely death at the age of twenty-nine. His work has been exhibited posthumously in Europe, the United States, and Turkey and is found in the Tate Modern, Daimler Modern, and other public collections.
