In all of the Stephane Vigny Installations, there is a sense that the artist wants us to see the beauty in items that already exist, trying to inspire us to see more into the things that we usually take for granted.
Living by the motto, "Why add another object to this world when it is overflowing with objects already?" Stephane Vigny reconstructs seemingly random objects, making viewers stare at something they would normally walk past without glancing at. A car is a fairly common sight, but when placed upside-down and topped with a see-saw, it piques our interest.
Barrels turned into love chairs and drum sets, candelabras used to hold florescent lights and cinder blocks turned into flowerpots are some of the unusual combinations found in the Stephane Vigny Installations.
