In Grands Canons by Alain Biet, hundreds of drawings come collectively in a “symphony of on a regular basis objects”. Biet’s watercolors of commonplace gadgets akin to pencils, scissors, and glue are already implausible as particular person drawings, however my thoughts was blown seeing this video that includes hundreds of them. Each the sheer quantity of drawings and the best way they’re organized in an unlimited spiral is breathtaking. I am drawn in by each the simplicity of the subject material in these drawings together with the obsessive nature of the general mission.

“A brush makes watercolors seem on a white sheet of paper. An on a regular basis object takes form, drawn with precision by an artist’s hand. Then two, then three, then 4… Superimposed, condensed, multiplied, hundreds of documentary drawings in successive collection come to life on the display screen, composing a veritable visible symphony of on a regular basis objects. The buildup, each fascinating and dizzying, takes us on a visit by means of time. ”
