In his installations, sculptures and augmented reality creations, Daniel Steegmann Mangrané addresses the social and ecological urgencies of the present.

His pieces evoke the verse from Brazilian poet Stella do Patrocínio: I was pure gas, air, empty space, time.

This approach and attitude is what underlies the artistic practice of Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (Barcelona, 1977).

Using biology and the new anthropological discourses as conceptual frameworks, Steegmann Mangrané proposes a holistic vision of the world, in which there is no distinction between humans and their environment and where the relationships between all elements are in constant flux.

His work questions historically colonial divides such as, for example, between culture and nature, subject and object, reality and dream, while incorporating the subjectivity and social agency of non-humans and inanimate elements.
