TOMÁS SARACENO

Tomás Saraceno (1973, San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) vive e lavora a Berlino. La sua pratica interdisciplinare unisce arte, scienza e architettura, immaginando nuovi modelli di coesistenza ecologica e sociale ispirati a strutture naturali come le ragnatele, le nuvole e gli ecosistemi atmosferici. Le sue installazioni monumentali e spesso sospese invitano a ripensare l’autorialità dell’arte il rapporto tra uomo, natura e animale. Tomás Saraceno ha esposto in istituzioni internazionali quali il Palais de Tokyo di Parigi, l’Hamburger Bahnhof di Berlino, il MoMa di New York e le Serpentine Galleries di Londra, e ha partecipato a numerose edizioni della Biennale di Venezia e di altre rassegne internazionali.
