Gabriella Torres-Ferrer
Based in Berlin
An artist and researcher working across installation, computational systems, and found objects.
Gabriella Torres-Ferrer (b. 1987, Puerto Rico) is an artist and researcher based in Berlin, working across installation, computational systems, found objects, and material-based practices.
Their work investigates the systems that organise contemporary life and the material realities those systems produce, examining how technological, economic, and political infrastructures shape perception, territories, resources, and everyday life. Rooted in Puerto Rico and its entanglement with global networks of extraction, technology, and power, Torres-Ferrer traces how seemingly abstract systems become materially present, and how objects, commodities, data, and infrastructures carry the histories of those systems.
Their work has been presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hessel Museum of Art at CCS Bard, Swiss Institute, Museum der Arbeit, and SAVVY Contemporary. In 2020 they were a guest artist at CERN and a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude.
Torres-Ferrer shows in Those Who Move Through Matter at Bardo Projektraum, and takes part in the artist talks and guided tours opening and closing the exhibition.
