SCULPTOR SOPHIE PRESTIGIACOMO REFLECTS OUR TENSE DIALOGUE with nature with her swamp creature in the Nature of Séné in the Gulf of Morbihan in France. Land Art is the will to establish a direct relationship between man and nature. So, although still very little practiced on the territory of the Natural Reserves, it finds its place there.
The first appearance of Homo algus dates from Spring 2012, in Sene. Two creatures emerged from the mud to position themselves at the edge of the coastal path, then on the marshes at the Séné Nature Reserve. They toured with men for several weeks, arousing surprise and fascination.
Their sudden disappearance has created a vacuum among the inhabitants: reciprocal tame-up did not It was still only sketched. But the nascent legend wanted them to have gone then to seek the rest of their tribe. And they come back to settle in the Séné Marsh Nature Reserve! More numerous, more curious and doubtless convinced by the first visit of their two ambassadors that there was a relationship to be established with the human race.

She can get so expressive merely by draping gray cloth.

Those are pretty scary. And quite masterfully done.

"Hey, are you ok? What are you doing?"
What if their joints were on heavy springs that would move a little in the breeze?
