The first thing that the viewer currently sees upon entering the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum in Berlin, is a space with cell-like transparent balls - some larger than others - filled with strange plants that seem to grow inside their free-floated cocoons. Each one of these biospheres is stretched across the large space of the museum and visitors are welcome to touch, smell or even climb inside them. Saraceno's installations do not simply aim to be a space for visitors' participation and immediate engagement, but they also allow them to travel to a place that is imaginative: an almost mythic and unreal plane where things are different. Through this work, concepts such as space, time and possibility can be re-visited.
