Huyghe’s practice spans many media, including live situations, films, objects and drawings. His exhibitions are living organisms, in which interdependent, biotic and abiotic, real and symbolic agents — animals, humans, machines — are co-evolving. Those, indistinguishable, are self-organizing in a dynamic and unstable mesh, navigating between necessity and contingency.
