15 Scanning Q3 What materials were found underground during the excavation for the installation? Find words which mean: • scattered pieces of waste or remains: • a building, especially a large, imposing one: overwhelm archaeologist excavation debris intersperse strider beehive aftermath edifice precarious symbiosis After leaving Cherry Column behind, I rode my bike excitedly for about 10 minutes before arriving at Pierre Huyghe’s installation After ALife Ahead . I had to wait in line for an hour because they only let in a certain number of visitors at a time. As soon as I entered, I was overwhelmed by the spectacle of this artwork. Huyghe dug up the floor of the ice rink, which closed in 2016, making it look like an archaeologist’s excavation site. In some spots, concrete and earth, layers of clay, gravel debris, and Ice Age sand were found just a few meters underground, interspersed with old surfaces. He created a new eco-environment in this location. Pyramidal structures on the ceiling open and close periodically, making interesting sounds and letting in light and rain. It started to rain while I was inside the building, and the raindrops fell directly to the ground. Water striders were living in a small pond with moss growing all around it. Bees were buzzing around a beehive that was made of soil. It looked like the aftermath of humanity’s extinction, but it also suggested that people had landed on Mars and were constructing some sort of edifice. After ALife Ahead is a giant project in which biological life, real and symbolic architecture and landscapes, visible and invisible processes, and static and dynamic states are all fused into a precarious symbiosis. As suggested by the piece’s title, the artist is exploring questions such as who truly benefits from the redevelopment of the abandoned ice rink and whether it is possible for humans and the environment, development and preservation, to coexist.
