The Art of Us shares the stories of artists and visionaries, exploring the transformative power of art and its impact on our lives. The third episode features Theo Jansen, the Dutch artist renowned for his kinetic sculptures that blur the boundaries between art, nature and engineering.
Strandbeests are imaginary creatures brought to life on beaches by the sole power of the wind, in an ongoing dialogue with the surrounding natural landscape. Moving between the sand and the rhythm of the waves, the sculptures gradually adapt to the environment, in a process of constant transformation.
An invitation to see the world through new eyes, to envision vital forms even where they seemingly do not exist, creating works that live on in the gaze and emotions of the viewer.
