Philippe Parreno’s latest exhibition is transforming Munich’s Haus der Kunst into an intricate dance of space, time and life. Entitled Voices, the immersive exhibition unfolds in a series of interconnected yet expected events where reality and imagination become one.

Central to the exhibition is ∂A, a language born out of machine learning and brought to life by German newscaster Susanne Daubner. Merging the gravitas of news with the artist’s expansive imagination, her voice infuses the space with an “uncanny sense of truth.”

In collaboration with artist Tino Sehgal, Parreno invites visitors to engage directly with his works. From guttural tones to melodic phrases, vocalizations trigger a symphony of reactions: flickering lights, humming objects and ripping surfaces. The museum itself becomes a life of its own, blinking and revealing new layers of interaction.

Together, Voices presents a recalibration of language and boundaries, blurring the lines between the performer and object. From the confines of gallery walls to the grit of rural landscapes, Parreno weaves the human and artificial into a powerful exploration of what it means to experience art.

The exhibition is now on view in Munich until May 25, 2025.
