Lives and works in London

Reality is becoming increasingly opaque, and could be seen as a “permanent fiction”. Speculations about what happens in scientific laboratories are as powerful as reality itself. We invent stories about the experiments that take place there: science-fictions. Marguerite Humeau's work explores the fictional potential of scientific experiments and the role of science in the creation of contemporary myths. This speculative territory provides many narrative and performative opportunities. The work is introduced as an epic quest, setting up an enigma, documenting the journey, and presenting its final outcomes. Humeau's work has been recognised internationally through various awards and publications including I-D magazine, Wired UK, Blueprint, Designboom, FastcoDesign, NPR, WMMNA and has recently exhibited at the MoMA, New York. Her work is part of the MoMA permanent collection.
