BIO
Lena
Becerra (b. 1994)
is
an artist
and researcher working across multiple mediums whose practice explores
prosthetic ecologies and speculative anatomies through hybrid installations at
the intersection of art, philosophy, science, and technology. Working with
prosthetic-grade silicone, blown glass, metal, and sensor-driven liquid
systems, her work investigates how synthetic and organic matter form
gestational ecosystems that challenge binary notions of body/machine,
nature/technology, and subject/object.
Lena
studied a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts at the National University of La
Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina and specialized in New Media, Installations
and Sculpture studies at Santa Reparata
International School of Art in Florence, Italy. In 2019 she moved to the city
of Melbourne, Australia where she continued her training in the areas of
Jewellery, Literature, Glassblowing, Metalwork and Creative Writing, amongst
others.
