La Batalla de los Patos, A Documentary Project with Rirkrit, 2003

2013

"La Batalla de los Patos, A Documentary Project with Rirkrit" is a collaborative work by Philippe Parreno created in 2003 using phosphorescent ink on paper, a medium that creates a luminous quality visible in darkness. The title references a absurdist or surreal narrative involving ducks, reflecting Parreno's interest in storytelling and collaborative artistic practice with fellow artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. The use of phosphorescent materials transforms the drawing into an object that generates its own light, engaging viewers in an immersive and temporal experience that extends beyond conventional visual representation.
