    About UUmwelt

    UUmwelt is presented as a live, in-gallery event within MoMA Exhibitions in New York City, with Pierre Huyghe among the featured artists. The work draws on the vocabulary of exhibition-making while treating the museum as an active environment rather than a neutral container. It belongs to a strand of contemporary art in NYC that tests how images, bodies, and systems co-produce meaning in real time. Its most pointed move is its refusal to settle into a stable narrative, asking viewers to track changes instead of conclusions.

    About the Artist

    Pierre Huyghe

    Pierre Huyghe is a French contemporary artist whose practice moves between moving image, sculpture, public interventions, and projects that incorporate living systems. Based in Santiago, he develops works that unfold through time and treat the exhibition as an active environment rather than a neutral container.
