From MoMA to Berghain, Pierre Huyghe’s speculative fiction knows no bounds. Next stop for the French artist is Fondation Beyeler, where he’s turning the Swiss museum into his “soulscape,” a winding, enigmatic portrait of his inner world.Ambiguous yet ambitious, Huyghe’s new exhibition expands on the artist’s exploration between binaries – the metaphysical and fictional, the living and dead, the human and non-human.

Standing inside the space, it’s hard to imagine the artists anywhere but together.The two arrived at New York’s Whaam! earlier this summer for their second exhibition together.
