The first in a new series from Dis Voir, Encounters asks a
well-known contemporary artist to decide which subjects he or she
wants to discuss in their book. Each artist's book therefore offers
a specific experience in terms of content. In accordance with this
principle, each artist also selects a person -- due to certain
elective affinities -- with whom he or she would like to share this
exchange. At the very least, the resulting collaborative volumes
serve as an artistic and political laboratory of the present. In
this first installment, French artist Pierre Huyghe chooses to
encounter Canadian writer Douglas Coupland, author of Generation X,
because of the influence Coupland has had on his generation and on
Huyghe's own work. Together they discuss the construction of
characters, of narrative techniques based on chance, and the
political dimension present in Coupland's work -- themes that are
also fundamental questions on Huyghe's projects.
