BIO

María Basantes, born in Ecuador, and based in Berlin, is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on spatial design, working across scenography, installation, exhibition design and performance.

With a background in architecture and a Master’s degree in Stage and Exhibition Design from TU Berlin, her practice explores space as a constructed situation, shaped through research, writing, documentation, testing and material experimentation. Engaging with the present often leads her to revisit what has passed and to imagine speculative futures, where display, atmosphere and movement become tools for perception.
