We are very proud to be invited by philosopher and long time studio friend and collaborator Vinciane Despret to the inaugural conference of ‘Avec qui venez-vous?’, part of Centre Pompidou’s Hors Pistes Festival. 

Watch the conversation between Vinciane and Tomás on the world of spiders, interspecies communication and cosmic ecology, hosted by Jean-Max Colard.

With ‘Avec qui venez-vous?’ (Who are you coming with?) philosopher and ethology specialist Vinciane Despret invites the audience to reflect on the living species surrounding us, that live with and within us. In her own words: “Remarkably sensitive to the components of air, to its pressure, to the vibrations it conveys, spiders are connected to everything that vibrates; they are as earthly as they are aerial. They offer us alternative, more attuned ways of living together, of sharing worlds.”

Studio Tomás Saraceno is thrilled to collaborate with such an important voice in contemporary thinking, author of ‘Tinnitus Inquiry’, an essay set to be published in the exhibition catalog for Tomás’ upcoming solo show at The Shed, New York, entitled: Particular Matter(s), opening January 2022.
