A home, a tool, simply something they cling to? <a href=\"https:\/\/studiotomassaraceno.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tom\u00e1s Saraceno<\/a> presents these questions in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FPMrSkF_7BY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a new segment<\/a> from Art21, in which filmmakers visit his Berlin studio and examine the machinations of his collaborative practice, extending from a team of people to the tiny critters beneath our feet.<\/p>\n<p>Saraceno continually considers how humans occupy space and how such environments inform the ways we connect with the world around us. This short documentary, which is part of the \u201cRealms of the Real\u201d episode, reviews several of the artist\u2019s projects, from his suspended installations to his more participatory community projects.<\/p>\n<p>Several artworks presented in the film have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/tags\/tomas-saraceno\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously featured<\/a> on Colossal, and the film offers insight into the evolution of Saraceno\u2019s thinking over several years. Much of his work strives for connection and empathy building, which he explains through the structure of the web. \u201cIt\u2019s really trying to extend the ability of understanding who is our family, right? Who is our brothers, sisters, and grandfathers?\u201d he says. \u201cBy allowing others to admire these incredible webs, they will become more empathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find more Art21 films on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@art21org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a>, along with some of our favorites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/tags\/art21\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously on Colossal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/saraceno-2.jpg\" class=\"swipebox\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-471152\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1099\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/saraceno-2.jpg\" alt=\"a film still of people sitting in a tall tomas saraceno installation\" class=\"wp-image-471201\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do stories and artists like this matter to you?
