Working across glassblowing, metalwork, and installation, Becerra develops hybrid sculptural systems that move between biology and technology, matter and memory.
In this latest body of work, the gallery is transformed into a speculative ecosystem where organic and synthetic elements coexist in delicate tension. Glass vessels, silicone tubing, steel armatures, and circulating liquids form an environment that behaves like a living organism where forms oscillate between anatomical fragment and scientific specimen.
Rooted in personal history, memory is activated as atmosphere: diffuse, unstable, and constantly flowing. Becerra’s installations invite viewers into an uncanny sensorial field where vulnerability meets precision, and where the boundaries between body, machine, and environment begin to dissolve.
Xenobotany continues the artist’s exploration of prosthetic ecologies and speculative anatomies, offering a quietly charged encounter with systems that feel at once intimate and otherworldly.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lena Becerra 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.
Emerging from a migrant experience marked by geographical and affective displacement, her research draws from technopoetic, posthumanist, and xenofeminist frameworks to develop gestational ecosystems that resonate with humidity, hybridity, and ancestral futurities.
Becerra studied Visual Arts at the UNLP (Argentina) and Sculpture/New Media in Florence. She has exhibited widely across Europe, Australia, and Latin America, and has been awarded international residencies and fellowships, including the Tutsek Stiftung (DE), the Stiftung Berliner Leben Fellowship (DE), and SRISA (IT). She also participated in the 2025 PIP cohort at the Institute for Postnatural Studies (ES).
