Huyghe's expansive, immersive oeuvre points to the barrier between human and non-human experience
Pierre Huyghe (born 1962) is considered one of the most radical and influential contemporary artists working today. His vast body of work is conceived as a series of speculative fictions that challenge conventional perceptions of reality, time, consciousness and the relationship between humans and non-human entities. Published following the artist's solo exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler, this book deliberately moves beyond the format of a traditional exhibition catalog. Rather than presenting a chronological or documentary overview of the works, it invites readers on a unique and immersive mental journey. The publication brings together images and research on Huyghe's recent projects with sketches, notes and fragmented texts, creating a rich constellation of ideas and visual references. Readers can navigate this evolving network as a reflection of the artist's creative process, forming a visual archive that explores the complexity and depth of Huyghe's distinctive artistic universe.
