Pierre Huyghe: Artistic Exploration between Arles and Venice
Pierre Huyghe, born in Paris in 1962, is a contemporary French artist renowned for his immersive installations and works that question perception and reality. His work, often interactive, blends art, science and technology, offering the public a unique sensory experience.
Arles: “After UUmwelt” at LUMA
En 2021, Huyghe a présenté "After UUmwelt" à la Grande Halle du Parc des Ateliers à Arles. Cette installation, conçue spécifiquement pour le lieu, a transformé l'espace en un environnement vivant et évolutif, peuplé d'organismes biologiques et technologiques. L'œuvre explore la cohabitation entre l'humain et l'artificiel, offrant une expérience immersive où les frontières entre les deux se dissolvent.
Luma
For this exhibition, the artist covered the floor of the Grande Halle with a layer of compacted earth, creating an environment conducive to interaction between visitors and the biological elements present. This black soil, rich in micro-organisms, was used to support installations such as “Mind's Eyes”, sculptures composed of biological and synthetic materials, evolving according to changes in their environment.

Venise : “Liminal”at the Punta della Dogana
In 2024, Huyghe inaugurated “Liminal” at the Punta della Dogana, part of the Pinault Collection in Venice. This exhibition presents a series of new works alongside creations from the last ten years, transforming the museum into a dynamic space in perpetual evolution. The installations, populated by human and non-human creatures, become the site for the formation of ever-changing subjectivities, offering a reflection on otherness and perception.
