Pamela Rosenkranz’s artistic practice spans a variety of mediums, including objects, sculptures, works on paper, conceptual paintings, (light) installations, and video works. She investigates scientific and sociocultural systems that profoundly impact humans and their environment. Through her interdisciplinary approach, which incorporates elements from the natural sciences, neurology, art history, literature, and biorobotics, she reflects on the interactions and consequences of an anthropocentric worldview on the entire habitat. Rosenkranz has developed a unique visual language that highlights fluid transitions and blurs the boundaries between culture and nature, humans and animals, humans and machines, and physical and digital realities.

Several interlocking elements are part of a new site-specific installation by Pamela Rosenkranz, which will be presented at n.b.k. as part of her first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin. The shimmering, scale-like surfaces of paper works created using Kirigami – a paper folding and cutting technique – reflects the colors of an amorphous light object, embedded in the architecture of the room.

Pamela Rosenkranz (*1979 in Uri / Switzerland, lives in Zurich) has participated in numerous exhibitions, including: High Line New York (2023–2024); Deste Foundation, Hydra (2023); Robert-Walser Zentrum, Bern (2022); MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge / USA (2022); Kunsthaus Bregenz (2021); Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2021); Sharjah Art Foundation (2020); Okayama Art Summit (2019); Kreuzgang Fraumünster, Zurich (2018); Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo (2017); Fondazione Prada, Milan (2017). In 2015, she was participated with a solo presentation in the Swiss Pavilion in the Venice Biennale.
