Philippe Parreno

Step into a world where art moves, shifts, and unfolds in real time with Philippe Parreno, a dynamic monograph on the groundbreaking work of Philippe Parreno. Spanning his career from the late 1980s to today, this visually rich volume dives into Parreno’s ever-evolving practice—where memory, presence, narration, and time itself become artistic materials. From early performances to immersive cinema and large-scale spectacles, his work constantly challenges how we experience art. Highlights include his acclaimed film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (created with Douglas Gordon) and the ambitious live exhibition project Il Tempo del Postino, developed with Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Edited by Christine Macel with Karen Marta, this book is the first to present a complete inventory of Parreno’s work, including a full chronology and detailed list of projects. Fully illustrated and thoughtfully assembled, it also features a range of critical and imaginative texts by voices like Maria Lind, Simon Critchley, and more—alongside an in-depth interview with Obrist. Beautifully designed by M/M (Paris) and published in collaboration with leading institutions including Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Zürich, Irish Museum of Modern Art, and CCS Bard College, this book is as innovative as the artist himself.

This isn’t just a monograph—it’s an experience. A journey through time, story, and sensation. Press play on a new way of seeing.
