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.

By shifting away from our daily reality filled with devices and 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.
