No Ghost Just a Shell

SFMoMA, San Francisco

Animated films by French artists Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno shown alongside works by Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Pierre Joseph, Francois Curlet, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Joe Scanlan and Melik Ohanian all starring Huyghe's anime character AnnLee.

No Ghost Just a Shell was initiated when French artists and frequent collaborators Pierre Huyghe and Phillippe Parreno paid a visit to an agency that produces and sells animated stock characters. Anyone, from animators to advertisers, can go to these agencies and, in essence, buy an actor. The artists bought a Japanese manga character by the name of Annlee.

Huyghe and Parreno used the original computer file as a starting point for an extended exhibition process in which several artists have been asked to appropriate the character and make a short digital animation that brings Annlee to life. For the presentation at SFMOMA, the artists will bring together a number of artworks in several media that center on Annlee
