L’Expédition scintillante, Act III (Black Ice Stage) 2002

Pierre Huyghe’s 2002 installation, *L’Expédition scintillante, Act III (Black Ice Stage)*, is a minimalist work that evokes a sense of both vastness and confinement. The centerpiece is a large, black-and-white photograph of a frozen landscape, presented as a flat, rectangular surface raised above the gallery floor. This creates a stage-like effect, emphasizing the artwork’s artificiality and challenging viewers to consider their own perspectives. The work's title alludes to a journey or exploration, inviting contemplation on the nature of the unknown.
