Pierre Huyghe Liminals, 2025

Liminals is a short film featuring an AI-generated entity in human form. Huyghe first introduced this faceless anthropomorphic creature in his work Liminal produced for his solo exhibition of the same title at the Pinault Collection's Punta della Dogana in Venice in 2024. With Liminals the artist develops this creature from sketch to figure, while reworking the original soundscape, landscape, and narration.

In contrast to the earlier work – that no longer exists and generated imagery in real time – Liminals is a decided feature film. During its production, Huyghe exploited artificial intelligence to craft the film's humanoid protagonist, not to create a live interface operative inside the exhibition space.
