Early-March Art: Behind the human mask

Leslie Hawener

Pierre Huyghe
ongoing, ends May 21, open Tue-Sun 11:00-18:00, Thu 11:00-21:00; Contemporary Copenhagen, Trangravsvej 10–12, Cph K; 75kr, free adm for under-18s and Tue 11:00-13:00; cphco.org

Huyghe’s 2014 eerie video installation Untitled (Human Mask) grew in popularity after being exhibited at many prestigious galleries, such as Hauser & Wirth in London.

It was shot in a landscape deserted after the nuclear disaster and tsunami of Fukushima in March 2011, where a monkey with a human mask seems to be the last remaining resident. Already confused and attracted?

Then trap yourself in a world between fiction and reality, life and death, as well as humanity and animality.
