Anri Sala creates transformative time-based works through the complex relationships between image, architecture and sound, using these elements to refract, disrupt and question our experience. His works explore ruptures in language, syntax and music, inviting creative shifts that generate new interpretations of history, replacing established fictions and narratives with more ambiguous and nuanced dialogues.
His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Bourse de Commerce, Paris (2023); Kunsthaus Bregenz (2021); Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern, Houston (2021); Centro Botín, Santander (2019); Mudam, Luxembourg (2019); Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin (2019); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2017); New Museum, New York (2016); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2014); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2012); Serpentine Gallery, London (2011); Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (2008); and ARC, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2004). He has also participated in major group exhibitions and international biennials, including the 57th Venice Biennale (2017), dOCUMENTA (13) (2012), the 29th São Paulo Biennial (2010) and the 4th Berlin Biennale (2006).
