Theo Kameke has been a filmmaker for many years and has produced award-winning documentaries ranging from astronauts to miners, rodeo cowboys to nuclear physicists. He was on a NASA observation team during the moon landings and suffered wasp bites in the heart of the Amazon. While creating films in different parts of the world, he often encountered various physical objects and materials that aroused his interest and admiration, and after each of his trips he tried to bring something home as a souvenir. One day, looking at some electrical circuit, Theo suddenly realized what he could do with all the accumulated souvenirs.
He saw in the graphic images of electrical circuits, with many variations, the same beauty that we see in shells, crystals, in the cut of the trunks of trees, or even in the trees themselves, because all these forms, in fact, are deeply practical and serve certain purposes, and then that we see beauty in them does not mean at all that they were created only to please the eye. He was struck by the aesthetic qualities of these schemes, which could, like hieroglyphs, be built in a semblance of an unknown script or, like flowers, create a palette of mood. He began to create sculptures covered with wiring patterns using the traditional marquetry technique. Since the method itself is technological in itself, Theo deliberately does not make any references to this in his works, choosing human cultures and feelings that distinguish people from machines as the subject of sculptures by the ancients.
"Trees, rivers, electrical circuits, seashells: I have always perceived technology as another form of nature that develops the kingdom of life. I am sure that in many years, electrical circuits will become a kind of" trilobite "of our time, and archaeologists of the future will puzzle over the fact that from this heap of rubbish - bones, parts and other things belonged to intelligent life, and what not. In my works, I try to "spoil the life" of these hypothetical archaeologists from the future, combining natural materials, ancient forms and modern technologies in the same objects."
