Mythes, fantasmes et spéculations sont au cœur de l’œuvre de Marguerite Humeau. Toujours situés aux frontières de la recherche et de la fiction, les projets de Marguerite Humeau sont le fruit d’investigations approfondies et de collaborations avec des spécialistes et scientifiques. Au Palais de Tokyo et à Nottingham Contemporary, elle propose de vivre une expérience unique, physique et sensorielle. Avec son exposition « FOXP2 » – nom du gène dont la mutation a permis l’apparition du langage articulé, à la source de notre humanité –, l’artiste rejoue l’origine de la vie et celle du développement de formes de vies conscientes. En imaginant un monde où des éléphants géants domineraient la planète, elle crée artificiellement des créatures douées d’émotions et de conscience. Livre publié à l’occasion des expositions personnelles de Marguerite Humeau au Palais de Tokyo (23.06 – 11.09 2016) et à Nottingham Contemporary (15.10 2016 – 08.01 2017).

Bratton, Finnish new media theorist Jussi Parikka and political theorist Jane Bennett, among others.
