In this episode, we explore Alberto Giacometti’s rejected miniature sculpture for the 1939 Swiss National Exhibition. Far from a traditional monument, Giacometti’s tiny head on a massive pedestal challenged ideas of scale and representation, reflecting the tension between tradition and modernity in pre-war Europe. We examine how this early work foreshadowed Giacometti’s iconic elongated figures and his lifelong fascination with scale, perception, and human connection, revealing how even the smallest artworks can provoke profound insights.
