Homo Algus
by Sophie Prestigiacomo
These swamp creatures are sculptures created by the French sculptor Sophie Prestigiacomo. They can be seen at the Nature of Séné in the Gulf of Morbihan (France).
The figures are modeled with mud and seaweed, with the algae drying within the elements. The colors, textures, and “skin” of the creatures change over time, along with the organic landscape they inhabit. The sculptures offer a chance for onlookers to not only visit the site, but also engage in dialogue about biodiversity and our relationship to these lands.
