Pamela Rosenkranz (*1979) rose to prominence with a conceptual practice that encompasses sculpture, video, installation and painting. Her work questions the subjective element in the apprehension of an artwork, shifting the viewer’s focus toward the material, biochemical and neurological determinants of human behavior. Dubious of a worldview that places human beings at the center of the natural and material universe, the Zurich-based artist has also collaborated with thinkers from the broad philosophical movement known as speculative realism.

Ongoing
On May 7, 2026, on the occasion of the unveiling of its third permanent venue on the Isola di San Giacomo in Venice, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents an extensive program that brings together exhibitions, performances, and site-specific installations – including Old Tree by Pamela Rosenkranz, with projects specially conceived for the new space in the lagoon and involving international artists.
With its new location in Venice, the Foundation strengthens its commitment to the promotion of contemporary art and creates a place for production, research, and experimentation, open to dialogue among artists. Fully self-sustaining, the Isola di San Giacomo will also serve as a laboratory for ecological reflection.
