Introduction

Philippe Parreno’s solo exhibition at Esther Schipper in 2007 opens exactly one year after his last exhibition at Esther Schipper had closed. For the short period of a single week, the exhibition marks both, an echo, as well as a celebration of the exhibition from the year before. Every element in the exhibition is closely tied to the installation in 2006. An intricate net of references is thus laid out, where every object becomes a signifier of an event of the past, which it now reverberates into the present.
