Summary/Abstract: In the framework of curator Nicholas Bourriaud’s radicant aesthetics, this essay explores the artwork of Pierre Huyghe who uses time as both his subject and his medium in practices of world-making and journeying to express the complexity of unique experiences of the temporal. Huyghe’s works play on the subject’s dual role in both the creation and inhabiting of a world image, and the way that trajectories of time make their various effects within it. From Benjamin’s dialectical image to Kant’s metaphysical aesthetics, the complexities of perceiving time and time-based encounters in art are analyzed.
