Tino Sehgal - This youiiyou De Pont Museum
In This youiiyou, a choreography of voice, rhythm, and body language unfolds around the theme of intergenerational connection. It is among Sehgal’s most intimate pieces to date, enacted by a cast of participants who create a sensorial and emotionally charged experience for each visitor. The work is rooted in presence, interaction, and shared attention.
Sehgal, trained in both choreography and political economics, has developed a practice that radically challenges the conventions of visual art. Inspired by the legacy of conceptual art, his works are entirely dematerialized. What remains is the memory of a live encounter — direct, ephemeral, and unrepeatable.
For five months, This youiiyou will be presented daily in the museum’s largest gallery, inviting visitors into a quiet yet transformative space of embodied reflection.
