Pierre Huyghe
Film and Video Works
Wednesday 19 July 2006, 18.00
Sunday 30 July 2006, 15.00
In conjunction with Pierre Huyghe’s exhibition, this programme surveys key video and film works which have formed the foundation of his practice. Huyghe’s examination of narrative structure and the construction of individual and collective identity has taken the form of film, video, sound, animation, sculpture, architecture and public performance.
His interest in spectacle and spectatorship has led him to scrutinise cinematic conventions in works like The Third Memory (1999), which revisits Sydney Lumet’s 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon, and Blanche Neige Lucie (1997), in which Huyghe conducts an interview with Lucie Dolène, the French Snow White, who successfully sued Disney to win back the rights to her voice. The screening also includes L' Ellipse (1998) and Les Grands Ensembles (1994–2001).
