life and work

Huyghe studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In 2001 he represented France at the Venice Biennale , where his pavilion Le Château de Turing won a special jury award. In 2002 Huyghe was awarded the Hugo Boss Prize of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and exhibited numerous works there.

In 2006 Huyghe played in the Whitney Biennale in New York and the reopening of ARC / MAM Paris and Tate Modern with his film A Journey That Wasn't . The art museum in Basel / Museum für Gegenwartskunst has an exhibition dedicated to Pierre Huyghe in January 2011, in the Völklinger Hütte Huyghe is part of the permanent exhibition GameArt with the neon object Skin of Light . In 2012 Huyghe took part in the Kassel dOCUMENTA (13). He created a wildly overgrown garden as a habitat on the exhibition grounds , in which he let a greyhound with a pink foreleg stroll freely. Huyghe's contribution has been described in the press as one of the most notable at documenta. In 2016 the installation Orphan Patterns could be seen in the Sprengel Museum Hannover and in 2017 he was part of the Skulptur Projekte with a space- consuming installation After ALife Ahead in the former ice rink in Münster .

Huyghe's films and video installations repeatedly deal with the different levels of reality in films, which become visible, for example, through synchronization or through changes in the social context. In Huyghes Dubbing , the observer only experiences the actual film mirrored in the subtitles and the reactions of the filmed audience.

Huyghe lives and works in Paris.
