The award winning director Martha Fiennes (Onegin, 1999 and Chromophobia, 2007) has teamed up with the Hollywood actress Salma Hayek to produce a new moving image artwork. Called Yugen, it premiered last night at the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park, as part of Frieze week, in an event sponsored by Gucci and hosted by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
The work, which takes its name from a Japanese understanding of cosmology, has been created by combining traditional film-making techniques, with cutting edge post-production technologies and a computer employing artificial intelligence.
