got interested in Pierre Huyghe's work
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/pierrehuyghe/default.shtmPierre Huyghe's strength lies in his understanding of the fact that an image always comes with baggage.
...Within this I have also attempted to indicate new ways of thinking about text, image and discourse and thematic common concerns which enable film and the visual arts to be thought has sharing preoccupations. If we make an imaginary list of these preoccupations, time, place, memory, history and representation we would not necessarily think of moving or still media as the exclusive domain of such concerns, so my point essentially is that it is the preoccupations that become the source of critical commentary, even if the materiality might require a different nuance within reflection. The institutional question contained within these thoughts would lead us logically to suppose that if it is forms of discourse that is shaping the processes of work then this would in turn change the emphasis within critical modes of dialogue. In some respects all these issues might lead to entering into the space created at Tate Modern by Pierre Huyghe which moves across various registers in order to create a single statement which itself undoes the nature of a retrospective gathering of work. What is at issue is not so much the discrete boundary indicated by mediums but the play of spaces between fiction, document, authorship and cultural memory...
