Untitled (Human Mask), 2014, the latest video work by the acclaimed French artist Pierre Huyghe, follows a hybrid creature – between monkey and human – wandering around in a deserted restaurant near Fukushima, Japan. The enigmatic presence of this creature in a desolate environment that seems to have been ruined and abandoned by human beings is an apocalyptic vision that generates conflicting feelings of alienation and incomprehension together with sadness and compassion.
