Galaxies Forming along Filaments, like Droplads along the Strands of a Spider’s Web. 2009
Installation, elastic ropes
Central Exhibition, Giardini

Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno is exhibiting his work ‘galaxies forming along
filaments, like droplets along the strands of a spider’s web’ as part of the ‘fare mondi’ /
making worlds exhibition.

Saraceno’s interest in architectural projects is part of the artist’s ongoing fascination
with utopian theories and astronomical constellations. his conception of what constitutes
an architectural structure is admirably broad, and his new installation examines how
the black widow’s gossamer filaments are able to suspend extreme weights through
the use of complex geometry.
