Sacha Kanah (b. 1981, Milan, IT) studied at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan and in 2016 obtained a Master’s degree from Politecnico di Milano. The work rotates around spatial and material relationships to language, through sculptures and installations. Forms materialize in response to the premises of a given medium and contextual conditions, offering open dialogue. Interactions and co-evolutions are related to corporeal life and material phenomena, including the inorganic world, technologies, and nonhuman organisms and processes.
