No Ghost Just a Shell is a project based around the virtual figure AnnLee, on which 16 artists have worked. AnnLee is a 'Avatar', a virtual character originally designed for computer games and the Manga animation industry. In 1999 the French artists Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno bought the rights to her, gave her a name and initiated the project No Ghost Just a Shell. The plan was to fill the empty 'entity' AnnLee with stories and ideas and to give her an identity and a life of her own. Huyghe and Parreno offered AnnLee to other artists with the commission: use AnnLee in your own work and at the same time contribute with us to her history.
