At first glance, the picture above shows a striking laser show. In reality, what you see is a clever amalgamation of string, wood, and carefully placed light fixtures. Created by French artist Sébastien Preschoux, his string sculptures create a surreal and erie landscape. 

Preschoux showcased some of his creations during Paris’s Nuit Blanche this past October. Like Toronto, Paris also has its own all night art festival — the concept originated in Nantes, France – the difference being that Parisian teens know how to handle their alcohol. More photos of the beautiful sculptures can be found below and on Preschoux’s website. [The Verge]
