Work from “\*sk\*/ey-,” (and related works).
“…Humeau’s laboratory-like methods radically test materiality and temporality in order to explore the mysteries of human existence, ranging from prehistories to speculative notions of the future. Meticulously researched and often developed in collaboration with experts ranging from anthropologists and paleontologists to foragers and clairvoyants, Humeau’s multidisciplinary practice involves both knowledge production and the creation of new mythologies. “I am extracting the essences of real events, and then expanding into ‘what if?’ scenarios,” says Humeau. “I am prototyping worlds that are invisible, extinct, or parallel to ours.” The artist draws inspiration from long-lost ideas and extinct life forms, and uses speculation, research, and methodology to fill in the chasms in each field of knowledge…” – ICA Miami
