A faceless figure in a quantum dance beyond reality

Overview

In this new commission, Pierre Huyghe plunges us into a "modern myth" where a faceless figure navigates a quantum realm outside time and space. Through film, sound, and light, boundaries dissolve between inner and outer worlds, living and non-living matter. Inspired by quantum theory, Huyghe collaborated with physicist Tommaso Calarco and philosopher Tobias Rees. The film translates quantum uncertainty into sensory experiences, with sound design even shaped by a 100-qubit quantum computer. Ultimately, Huyghe invites us to confront a “radical outside” of human subjectivity, where multiple realities coexist.
