With the support of Prohelvetica, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary present today the exhibition After Nature, by the Swiss artist Claudia Comte (1983).
The exhibition brings together a series of sculptures carved with a chainsaw for the occasion from endemic wood found in Jamaica during her residency as part of the interdisciplinary and collaborative programme of the TBA21-Academy and Alligator Head Foundation in Port Antonio. Through this programme, his research and his passion for the oceans, Comte has come to understand that corals play a fundamental role in the production of oxygen on Earth and that their extinction can have a profound impact on life on our planet. The exhibition revolves around the understanding of coral reefs and the need to encourage their regeneration and is divided into two spaces, day and night, each of which refers to a moment in the process of research and reconciliation with life in the oceans.
