Man Carrying His Own Sun on a String 1973

"Man Carrying His Own Sun on a String" (1973) by French artist Robert Filliou is a conceptual artwork that consists of two cardboard boxes. One box displays a simple drawing of a stick figure carrying a red sun on a string, while the other contains a photograph of the artist. The artwork, often classified as Conceptual art, plays with the idea of the artist's self-portrait and challenges traditional notions of art creation and presentation. Filliou's playful approach and use of everyday materials highlight the everydayness of art and the power of imagination.
