Punta della Dogana invites Pierre Huyghe to conceive, together with the curator Anne Stenne, a major new exhibition that presents a vast nucleus of his works, some of which come from the Pinault Collection.

For Pierre Huyghe, the ritual of exposure is an encounter with a sentient context that generates new possibilities of interdependence between the events and elements that manifest themselves. His works are conceived as speculative fictions that often reveal themselves as a union of different forms of intelligence that learn, modify and evolve over the course of exposure.

For Punta della Dogana, the French artist creates his largest exhibition to date, transforming the place into a dynamic medium, in a transitory condition where time and space like everything that passes through it, visible or invisible, become an integral part of works of art.

The exhibition is the place where subjectivities are formed, with or without a body, which circulate and manifest themselves in an unpredictable way through the works which in turn become sentient entities. An unknown language is created, without end, without recipient, which takes possession of voices, gestures, images, and generates new real or fictitious situations.

Populated by inhuman, human and non-human entities, crossed by natural or artificial phenomena, the exhibition explores, in real time, the conditions that allow different entities to coexist, sometimes even to hybridize, without hierarchical distinction or specific determination.

Central figure in the search for art's relationship with the non-human, Pierre Huyghe adopts, from his first works, another perspective than the human one - inhuman - to let emerge what lies outside our understanding, outside from our ability to experience it. Pierre Huyghe calls into question our perception of reality and proposes, through the construction of other possible realities, to become strangers to ourselves.
