Over the course of nearly four decades and across a diverse range of mediums, Philippe Parenno has investigated such fundamental concepts as language and communication, time and memory, and the nature of reality and fiction. A frequent collaborator with fellow artists and curators, from Liam Gillick to Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Parreno often works on a massive scale to produce installations that are inherently site-specific—from the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall to the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. On the occasion of a major exhibition in Seoul, the acclaimed Algerian-born French artist sat down with ArtAsiaPacific to discuss AI-generated language, the power of the cinematic medium, and the importance of embracing the unknown.
