Tal R (Tal Shlomo Rosenzweig)1967年出生於以色列特拉維夫(Tel Aviv,港港口城市),現工作、生活於丹麥哥本哈根(Copenhagen)。2000年畢業於丹麥哥本哈根皇家藝術學院;2005年至2014年在德國杜塞道夫藝術學院(Kunstakademie Düsseldorf)任教。
「Sexshop」是Tal長期實踐的一個項目。據他回憶,童年時乘坐公交車去學校,每天上下學都會經過城市的隱蔽角落,包括一些色情場所。成年後,Tal曾到世界各地的脫衣舞俱樂部和妓院考察,而最終吸引他的是開在附近的情趣商店(或稱性商品店)。
Tal認為這些情趣商店的外觀比內部更有意思。他感興趣的是情趣商店的神秘氛圍,以及它們如何通過外觀設計傳遞內部信息,而又不能過於直白,畢竟是相對私密的場所。
「When you turn your attention to a new body of work, you have one leg in the current moment — in this case, facades and sex shops — while the other leg remains in your existing portfolio. No matter what you decide to focus on, you will inevitably draw on your previous experiences. It is important to embrace this. It is what is going to help you progress while maintaining your own distinct style.」
——Tal R
