Didier Walter

Didier Walter (1959–1995) is a French kinetic sculptor.

He was first influenced by Alexander Calder and invented ‘mobiles’.^[1] Watching for the first time 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, Didier Walter discovered a new experimental field with its minimal and spatial conception of kinetic art.^[2] He thus created his masterpiece 2001, around 1994, paying tribute to Kubrick and succeeding in recreating through the movement of the kinetic sculpture the aesthetics of floating in the film.

His most active period was between 1989 and 1995.^[3]
