Pierre Huyghe's Swiss museum debut features artificial breathing organ

Pierre Huyghe's first solo exhibition in a Swiss museum, at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, presents a site-specific experience. The French artist, based in Santiago, Chile, is known for blending technology with organic forms. Highlights include Apnea (2026), an artificial breathing organ submerged in a glass water tank; Liminals (2025), a film featuring a faceless figure; and Camata (2024), showing machines performing a ritual on a skeleton in Chile's Atacama Desert, continuously re-edited via sensors. The exhibition runs until 13 September.
