philippe perino currently has a show running here in berlin where visitors can expect to see floating fish yeast cultures and even. artificial lake that forms rings so what is the concept behind his creations well we met up with the artist to hear about his work and inspiration . elegantly floating up and down in their surreal aquarium these fish shaped balloons are guided by artificially circulated here. this is one of the pieces that french artist filipe probably know has installed in billings volga gropius fell for his summer exhibition. children we'll show you a little film of our markets and i found the fish a very long time ago in a shop in japan called my room is a fish boy wizard usually some where newsreel for i thought that was really amusing . and it motivated me to produce these animated fish to lose all their movements seem very lifelike they dance. just because i know his animated not just the

fish but the entire museum he said an artificial pond installed in the atrium the. lightning flashes and the water eddies as if the winds of a thunderstorm were blowing through the halls of this venerable building. mines each he realized to what extent this building can become transparent and permeable when you think about power knows works that's something he always does in his exhibitions transform a building into an organism on. the surface of the water ripples as if touched by invisible insects above or sudden currents below. mechanical devices and technology are used to create fantastic organic forms. the lighting constantly changes location at least sounds from outside the building are transmitted inside by microphones everything is constantly in motion. so you

oxygen or feeds on that sometimes it gets both alcohol and oxygen at the same time . then one yeast organism feeds another one with oxygen on them there are very different patterns and parameters and all of these parameters are closely connected to what happens in the exhibition and the exhibition becomes a kind of cosmos for them with what is it. put more simply when the virtual fireflies light up it's because the yeast wanted it so the algorithms of their metabolism generates electrical impulses that can be used to raise or lower the window blinds or even play the piano. this is a scientist even the interesting thing is that yeast really is an organism which just like us humans can be subjected to stress tests so there's a reaction that's very close to how the human body also reacts yet not be made me

think that makes me here you can imagine that it's like a kind of incubate or that radiates out into the exhibition and so that you sense how much things are connected to each other i just must get busy as i'm doing a bit and i thought once that. it takes time to fully appreciate the exhibition sometimes the works appear inscrutable and philippe i know doesn't want to explain his art he'll only say that it's a single endless process. with the words impossible to say when the works are really finished you can get close to being done but you never really achieve it. the sound of berlin streets serves as the soundtrack to the exhibition. the lines between inside and outside are blurred. one of the installations is made solely of transparent plexiglass you can't see through it. with filippo knows work everything
