Mathieu Zurstrassen

Kinetic and mobile sculptures:

Mathieu Zurstrassen loves machines, which leads him to craft with a luxury of invention, machines that may sometimes seem utterly useless.
With a combination of anthropomorphic adornments and complex mechanical devices he gives birth to hybrid creations, astonishing.
Is all this only a fairly learned, brilliant, but gratuitous game?
No, by shifting away from our daily reality filled with devices, by turning them away, he reveals a mutant universe.
Art is always a game with matter and time, and Zurstrassen plays with our perceptions, the ephemeral and the duration.
