Double Bind offered surprising double views

The artist, who was married to the sculptress Cristina Iglesisa, was also highly regarded in his own country.

His work features larger than life-size human figures in large architectural installations like balconies and staircases.

An installation called Double Bind is currently at Tate Modern in London.

For this work Mu�oz remodelled the turbine hall of the South Bank gallery with a newly installed suspended floor.

Visitors looking up into the space view an installation of sculptured grey figures at work while a different image is experienced from above.

Mu�oz visited many cities to see view people's working environments as he created Double Bind over a 12-month period.

At the time the sculptor said: "I'm probably only the second artist in the world to work in such a big space.

"I'm very happy with it, I think it works. I'm sure the spectator will be surprised."

Though his work is considered very contemporary, he saw himself as a traditional sculptor, using traditional materials such as stone and bronze.
