19. Tomás Saraceno

-

Tomás Saraceno believes that we’re at the point of no return. His installati­on at Copenhagen’s Cisternern­e (until 30 November), navigable only by boat, is titled Event Horizon, after the astrophysi­cal term for the moment when gravity makes it impossible to escape the pull of a black hole. His art investigat­es the relationsh­ip between humans and the planet, and calls for a radical transforma­tion. His Aerocene project – exploring fossil fuel-free flight with balloon sculptures kept afloat by the sun and travelling with atmospheri­c currents – has captivated audiences around the world. For a recent collaborat­ion with Maison Ruinart (above), he added an AR experience, allowing the trajectori­es of Aerocene flights (‘Aeroglyphs’) to be shared with a global community. The Argentine artist’s upcoming show at Berlin’s Neugerriem­schneider continues his exploratio­n of environmen­tal concerns. studiotoma­ssaraceno.org
