Philippe Parreno is a prominent figure in French contemporary art and one of the most significant artists working today. He employs a wide range of media including film, sound, sculpture, objects, text, and drawing, while focusing on boundaries between reality, the fictional, and the hypothetical. He also interrogates concepts of art and authorship, collaborating with numerous artists, architects, and musicians.
While incorporating advanced technologies such as AI into his works, Parreno also playfully manipulates familiar objects such as pianos, lamps, window blinds, and balloons, creating dream-like situations in which dynamism, silence, humor, and critique intersect. Parreno takes an exhibition as a medium, and here he meticulously transforms the space of the Pola Museum of Art into a labyrinth of symbols, where the spectral presence, voices, lights, darkness, and hidden messages configure a dramatic sequence.
This exhibition is one of Parreno’s largest solo exhibitions in Japan, encompassing his diverse practice ranging from early works of the 1990s to an installation unveiled for the first time, with his well-known film Marilyn among the highlights.
