Philippe Parreno Histoire d'un sentiment (Storyboard), 2025

The painting belongs to a body of work Philippe Parreno has created in connection with an upcoming film which began production in 2023. Each painting offers a fragmentary glimpse of potential futures: scenes, landscape designs, and imagined realities to influence the cinematography of the film, and function as a storyboard for its production and as visual backdrop in the filming of certain sequences. The subjects of the paintings remain elusive and mysterious, following the artist's notion that they circumscribe a film that has always existed in the realm of potentiality, but whose realization demands the invention of an origin.
