The Spanish artist Eva Fàbregas is best known for creating monumental pastel-hued installations of sensual sculptures. For her largest exhibition to date, Fàbregas has transformed the historic central hall of Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin with a forest of fleshy biomorphic forms hanging from its iron girders; these soft sculptures harbour sound components within (6 July–7 January 2024). Find out more on the Hamburger Bahnhof’s website.
