Artist Tino Sehgal, friend and longtime collaborator of Philippe Parreno, has created a work consisting of dancers/singers speaking with the exhibition. Each room is activated one after the other by the dancers whose voices and ∂A - an invented language crafted by Parreno and evolving in real time - trigger responses from the whole environment. A very familiar, yet bodiless voice, periodically slips through the rooms. The landscape is channeling messages to the visitors through the dancers, who appear as oracles of a prophecy.
