Biosphere
View through National Gallery of Denmark
The biosphere is inspired by scientific studies of e.g. clouds, soap bubbles, and the geometric principles of cob¬webs. Saraceno is originally trained as an architect, and his biospheres can be viewed as models for alternative types of social spaces and habitats for people – or even for new, habitable planets. Taking a metaphorical and poetic approach to serious issues such as Earth’s overpopulation, environment, and migration, Saraceno wishes to point to new potential relationships between culture and nature. He seeks to translate the consequences of global change and technological developments into a positive, Utopian reinvention of our world.
