BIOGRAPHY Samuel Domínguez is a Chilean artist working across sculpture, installation, moving image, and sound. His practice explores relationships between landscape, technology, scientific inquiry, and systems of knowledge, often focusing on plant migration, ecological transformation, and speculative approaches to the natural world.
Domínguez studied at Universidad Finis Terrae and the Maryland Institute College of Art and holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in London. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museo de Artes Visuales and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Santiago. In 2021, he represented Chile at Ars Electronica in collaboration with Fundación Mustakis and ALMA Observatory, and in 2025 he received the Friends of Battersea Park Public Sculpture Award.
Working across installation, moving image, simulation, biological sculpture, and sound, Domínguez creates speculative ecosystems informed by cyborg theory, ecological collapse, machine agency, and post-natural futures. His projects often integrate organic matter, volcanic stone, electrical systems, real-time simulations, and audiovisual environments to blur distinctions between the living and the manufactured.
His recent solo exhibitions include Cyborg Botanies at Galería Patricia Ready (Santiago, 2025), What Happened After I Left at Mahara+Co (Miami, 2024), and Terrestres at Factoría Santa Rosa (Santiago, 2023). In 2025, he was awarded the Battersea Park Sculpture Award in London and was previously shortlisted for the Frieze Sculpture Commission at OWO London.
