MARGUERITE HUMEAU, The Origin of Humankind I

MARGUERITE HUMEAUThe Origin of Humankind I, 2019

About the artist

MARGUERITE HUMEAU Ranging from prehistory to imagined future worlds, Marguerite Humeau spans great distances in space and time in her pursuit of the mysteries of human existence. She breathes life into lost things, whether they be lifeforms that have become extinct or ideas that have disappeared from our mental landscapes. Filling gaps in knowledge with speculation and imagined scenarios, her aim is to create
new mythologies for our contemporary era.
