I am fascinated with the depiction of some aspects of human experience, which I believe have remained essentially unchanged since prehistoric times. In my work, I explore this theme using technology, a tool for achieving distance, control, and spontaneity. My passion for robotics and performative installations allows me to delve into micro-recurring storytelling and mise-en-scène. - Patrick Tresset, 2023
