Going into nature, the French graphic designer and artist Sébastien Preschoux always takes a skein of thread with him, and while the others are resting, he plunges into creativity, creating another installation from the series [hu] Man vs Machine.
While in any field of activity a person more and more resorts to the help of modern technology, Sébastien Preschoux creates all his works exclusively by hand. And the author has good reasons for this. “We live in an era where everything is done very quickly and spreads just as quickly,” says Sébastien Preschoux. - But in what is done with the help of a computer, there is nothing personal and unique. Nowadays, images are spreading at a tremendous speed, but nobody cares about the origin of these things - are they the result of electronic or manual work? However, when people are directly confronted with the manual process, they begin to understand how much time and effort it takes. And the result of such work is much more important, because it is unique - it cannot be copied at the push of a button or printed in multiple copies."
“I believe that art only makes sense if it is the work of human hands,” sums up Sébastien Preschoux, best known for his installations of threads. The author created the first such work in the forest of Argentina and was satisfied with the conditions of work in nature: it is available, not limited in time, and besides, no one interferes. “I like to add vibrant threads with a geometric vibe to an environment that has no graphic origins,” says the author.
And, of course, it is difficult to resist comparing Sébastien Preschoux's installations with a huge (and sometimes even colored) web. The author himself has nothing against this and adds that in the process of work he more than once had to feel like a little spider.
