 CIRCA Art Magazine - Online review - Pierre Huyghe, Streamside Day, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 23 February to ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
The characters in the celebration are actors or members of the public invited to participate: they know they are taking part in the fiction of their own representation, and hence, their alienation, which would be increased by the transformation of lived experience into spectacle, seems rather stretched.
Huyghe returns art to the status of the "fictive language of a non-existent community" (M. Rasmussen) and this fiction is precariously maintained in that 'non-place' of film, somewhere between real time and represented time.
But Huyghe seems aware that these forms of interaction must pass through the assorted fictions of representation, making community itself a commodity to be consumed by the members of that community, and as such these forms all too easily participate in the organisation of social passivity.
