A journey that wasn't

A remake (from memory) of the film by Pierre Huyghe shown at Tate Modern in the summer of 2006. The film was shot and edited in London on one rare snowy day in January 2007. It records an expedition to search for the penguins at Tecton's Penguin Pool at London Zoo. The journey was reimagined the same evening at the lake at Barbican in the City of London.

I heard Huyghe is very particular about the set up of his exhibitions, but one of my professors has the DVD, and I am assuming you can get it off amazon. But you can also find it on torrenting websites.

I am doing a curating project and A journey that wasnt is one of those I am considering. The problem is that I cant find the original video of this. Does anyone know where I can find it? I would be extremely grateful to u!

A reinterpretation of the expedition was already done by huyghe himself in central park. This one is really fun! one advice: watch videos of pierre huyghe to compare.

memories of huyghe's movie might one day be forgotten.

so is this pierre huyghe's film or an homage to it?
