Nuit Blanche: Sébastien Preschoux’s Stunning Installations Light Up the Night in Paris

As part of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuit_Blanche" target="_blank">'Nuit Blanche'</a> art festival in Paris, artist Sébastien Preschoux designed these seven <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/wooden-structure/" target="_blank">wooden structures</a> constructed from thread and light. The glowing peaks were created with the idea that visitors could move around them and the surrounding shrubbery, lit up by the mysterious colored structures.

Nuit Blanche is an annual event during which museums, art galleries and artists to open their doors and present work to the public over the course of a winter's evening.

This year, spectators were invited to observe Preschoux's magical constructions that emitted an ambient glow.

Each one was a towering structure at three meters high, and grouped together to form a dazzling new element to the garden.

The series of sculptures were installed in a space within the 13th arrondisment of the French capital.

The sculptures became a temporary part of the shrubbery and appeared to grow out of the ground.

The series are similar to Preschoux's previous sculpture work in which abstract and dynamic forms are made using string and wood.
