Cyborg Botanies (2025) is a solo show by Samuel Domínguez at Galería Patricia Ready. The exhibition brings together a group of works that explore the relationships between the biological and the artificial, based on research carried out in the Salinas de Huentelauquén Wetland.
Domínguez proposes a speculative ecosystem where the organic and the synthetic intertwine to imagine new forms of coexistence, presenting a body of work that go beyond the idea of permanence and immutability. Through sculptures, two-dimensional works, paintings, and a 4K video projection created in collaboration with Agnete H. Morell featuring real-time water simulations, the artist gives shape to a “cyborg botany”: a series of hybrid organisms that combine volcanic stone, natural pigments, electrical components, and digital processes. In addition, the exhibition includes a sound piece composed by Makoto Sakamoto.
