Samuel Dominguez

/ Santiago de Chile

Know for his sculptural time-based installations, Samuel Domínguez’s practice explores new experiences with otherworldly landscapes and technological conceptions of
ecosystems. In “What Happened After I Left” (2024), Domínguez departs from a research carried upon Chilean aquatic vascular plants that have migrated to other territories, such as the ecosystems in Florida. The exhibition then conceives a series of approaches to imaginative semi digital landscapes that produce a dialogue between the universe of
aquatic plants and water gardens.

“What Happened After I Left” comprises the fourth solo exhibition and first in the USA by Domínguez, and his first show in 2024.
