Manifestations

Philippe Parreno

Manifestations is Philippe Parreno's eighth solo exhibition with Esther Schipper. It includes works spanning various media: a granular soundtrack, a CGI film, atmospheric sensors, robotic systems, computer code, ice and water. The exhibition connects "things" that, a priori, had nothing to do with one another; "things" that allow themselves to be summoned by repetitions, synchronicities, signals, or singularities.
