Philippe Parreno: Fireflies
< Back to Publications

This publication features intricate and textured works, the fireflies’ light is often created by an absence of darkness or pigment, capturing perfectly the bioluminescent glow emanating from the insect’s abdomen. With an engaging interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and an essay by Belgian philosopher Vinciane Despret giving a fascinating insight into this little-known body of work, Fireflies invites the reader to reconsider the nature of memory and time, repetition and rejuvenation, and the creative act itself.
