Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Reframed Through Interspecies Lens

“Terraphilia: Beyond the Human in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections” challenges anthropocentric worldviews in a multi-century survey at Madrid’s Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. From cosmograms to oceanic imaginaries, artists Daniel Steegmann Mangrané and Sissel Tolaas dialogue with canonical figures like Salvador Dalí and Wassily Kandinsky, exploring planetary kinship and care. The show invites viewers “to rediscover the world as a pluriverse.”
