Abstract
Pierre Huyghe’s work Streamside Day moves the boundaries
between representing and producing rituals. In 2003, the
artist scripted a holiday for a freshly built suburb in New
York State, which he simultaneously turned into a documentary
film and quasi-liturgical participatory installation. Artists
are increasingly reclaiming the notion of ritual.
Simultaneously and beyond the art world, innumerable new
rituals are formalizing and circulating through videos online. The forms of ritual and of moving image are merging. To make
sense of this phenomenon through the lens of Huyghe’s limit
case requires examining ritual production through
representation, from Gentile da Fabriano’s Miracolo dei
pellegrini to YouTube’s prom videos and gender-reveal
ceremonies.
