One Year Celebration (2006) by Pierre Huyghe

The artwork titled “One Year Celebration” was created by Pierre Huyghe in 2006, belonging to the Conceptual Art movement and the installation genre. The artwork is an arrangement of fifteen printed sheets, each announcing a different concept for a potential day of celebration. These concepts range from the whimsical, such as “Left-handed people celebration,” to the profound, such as “The mystical divorce of art and money.” The simplicity in presentation, with each sheet presenting the text in a uniform manner, encourages the viewer to reflect upon the nature and significance of the proposed celebrations. The installation thus prompts a contemplation on societal values and the nature of recognition in our daily lives.
