Ernesto Neto: Children of the Earth

Ernesto Neto: Children of the Earth

This room-sized installation, Children of the Earth (2019) by Ernesto Neto (b. 1964), pays homage to the Amazon rainforest and emphasizes the fecundity of the natural world at large. Neto's immersive, cocoon-like presentation invites visitors to revel in the senses as he metaphorically transforms the space into a living organism to be activated by guests. Upon passing through the gallery threshold, they encounter a vibrant, sensual environment that entices them to explore and interact with it.

This installation is part of the exhibition INTO THE TIME HORIZON.
