Tomas Saraceno was born in Argentina, yet currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. His experimental artwork explores visionary city planning solutions, addressing the question of overpopulation, migration and environmental issues. Influenced by his architectural background, Saraceno constructs a network of habitable platforms floating in the air. The inspiration for Saraceno’s soaring architecture stems from nature’s complex geometric shapes and the sky. His constructions consist of airborne gardens and inflatable plastic modules as alternative, futuristic habitats. Saraceno’s almost Utopian sculptures and installations challenge our experience of the environment and the social landscape. In 1999, Saraceno became an architect at Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires, after which he got two MAs in art and architecture – the first at Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes Ernesto de la Carova in Buenos Aires in 2000, and the latter at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Frankfurt in 2003. He exhibited at Walker Art Center in 2008, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in 2006 and the Venice Biennale in 2003
