Pierre Huyghe

Pierre Huyghe is a French contemporary artist known for refusing to stay within the lines. Born in 1962 and currently based in Santiago de Chile, he works with a wide range of materials—from film and sculpture to entire living ecosystems. The Fondation Beyeler is delighted to host a major new exhibition of his work, bringing together his most influential pieces with exciting new projects created specifically for this show.

Huyghe’s art is famous for blurring the lines between fiction and reality. By blending technology and biology with cinema and physics, he creates "living" environments that change and grow over time. Rather than just looking at a static object, you are invited to step into a dynamic situation where new perspectives and feelings can emerge.

We invite you to come and explore Pierre Huyghe’s fascinating and unpredictable universe. It is a unique opportunity to experience the work of one of the world's most innovative artists in a setting designed to surprise and inspire.
