About
Angeles Jacobi (*1989, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between construction and destruction inherent to the human condition. Her artistic approach was born from a mistake while knitting—an error that led her to unravel her work and uncover the poetry within this act. Since then, her textile installations have incorporated robotics, with textiles designed to unravel during exhibitions through motorized mechanisms. This process is documented through spools of thread and visual records in photographs and videos, preserving the traces of transformation.
Jacobi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad del Museo Social Argentino (2014) and a Master’s degree in Interactive Space Design from BTK in Berlin (2020). She has exhibited internationally in cities such as Berlin, Dresden, Tucumán, Buenos Aires, New York, and Guimarães, participating in prominent events like the Contextile Biennial in Portugal and the Bienal Sur in Argentina.
Her work reflects on fragility, time, and impermanence, drawing inspiration from nature and processes of change. In her practice, the act of disintegration is as significant as construction, fostering a profound dialogue between action and memory. Her work challenges our relationship with the ephemeral and celebrates the constant transformation that defines our existence.
