Quote from Parkett
“There is always a strong sense of performance within tales, the sense that they exist, somehow, only in their telling and this is something of which Huyghe is undoubtedly aware. ... Like Poe, Huyghe is able to present a certain degree of closure while allowing an immense and productive openness at its center, like a traveler into the unknown, prepared and yet desiring the unexpected.”

View and listen to Pierre Huyghe’s “All but One” wind-chime, on which one can play the same melody as the one exchanged between the humans and the alien spacecraft in Steven Spielberg’s 1977 film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.
