Theo Jansen

Estas imágenes nacen de la necesidad de compartir la maravilla de este descubrimiento: un hombre solitario que sueña nuevos seres vivos y les da forma y vida a orillas del mar. Escucharlo es asomarse a territorios inexplorados. Me enamoran los hombres que sueñan... y construyen, para dar vida a los sueños.
En sus palabras:
"Since 1990 I have occupied creating new forms of life.
Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don't have to eat.
Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives."
