A Journey That Wasn’t, 2005

In his works Pierre Huyghe (Paris, France, 1962) employs a wide variety of methods and techniques to investigate reality and, above all, situations where, as if folding back on itself, it produces dark zones converging with fiction. These can include the creation of a festival, an intervention in a public space, the publication of a magazine, or the production of a film. Exhibitions in museums or galleries can also provide an occasion for experimenting with new systems of interaction, based on open structures capable of functioning as new generators of meaning. In the same manner, rejecting all closure, Huyghe often seeks out collaboration with other artists, or even entire communities, convinced that artistic production occurs in the truth of interpersonal relationships and social dialogue.
