Programme duration approx. 60 min

This screening presents videos from the No Ghost Just a Shell project, which was initiated when French artists and frequent collaborators Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno purchased the copyright for Annlee, an animated figure originally designed a Manga agency in Tokyo. No Ghost Just a Shell proposes scenarios in which Annlee is liberated from ownership and allowed the chance to resolve the ambiguities of her fate.

Over the course of the project, Huyghe and Parreno have invited artists including François Curlet, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Pierre Joseph and Mehdi Belhaj-Kacem, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Mélik Ohanian among other artists to appropriate the character free of charge and to reinvent her life. Each artist has shaped a new chapter in Annlee's history, complicating her status as a deviant sign.
