Val Solari

Artist working with biomaterials, algae, microorganisms, and moving image to explore multispecies intimacy, transformation, and ecological embodiment.

Based in Berlin, my work unfolds through installation, sculpture, video, and experimental processes with organic and living matter. I am interested in growth, decay, interdependence, and the shifting boundaries between human and more-than-human bodies.
