TOMÁS SARACENO

Tomás Saraceno (1973, San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) lives and works in Berlin. His interdisciplinary practice combines art, science, and architecture, imagining new models of ecological and social coexistence inspired by natural structures such as spiderwebs, clouds, and atmospheric ecosystems. His monumental and often suspended installations invite us to rethink the authorship of art and the relationship between humans, nature, and animals. Tomás Saraceno has exhibited at international institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the MoMA in New York, and the Serpentine Galleries in London, and has participated in numerous editions of the Venice Biennale and other international events.
