“There is , in Laurent Millet, a taste for the method. However, his work does not follow any system. The poetic part of the method always takes over and is like a frame that would act like a metaphor of thought as a whole. Hence the strange presence of the “brainy” in his art: the scent of speculation is everywhere but instead of fainting, it turns into shapes …
It is not an object but spatial masses, elementary structures, structures in development, folding processes, processes of antimatter and sometimes, of remains. This part of the corpus of Laurent Millet is the one that most relates him to the generation of monumental sculptors… But behind the play of references, it is necessary to try and characterize what is at stake in an important part of his work: a permanent experience of the plan. For Laurent Millet works on the basis of the perception, showing that photography constitutes a workspace by the fact that it unfolds a vision through planes – by the perspectivist regulation given by the optical machine. Whereas the eye takes stock, the mechanical optics plans the vision – this technical axiom allows to watch the game created by Laurent Millet by defining forms in space. ”
