"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"Chantier Barbès Rochechouart" (1994/1996)

"Today, in a certain way, the notion of projection into the future is gone. At the beginning of the twentieth century there was a moment of suspension, when time was not as regulated- past, present, and future- as it would be maybe ten or twenty years after."
- Pierre Huyghe
