Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez is a Berlin-based artist working across sculpture, installation, performance, and research-based practices. Her work investigates porous relationships between bodies, materials, technologies, and environments through hybrid material systems that combine ceramic processes, digital fabrication, textile techniques, and organic matter. Processes of transformation, imprint, and material interaction play a central role in her exploration of ecological entanglement, memory, and posthuman forms of embodiment.

​

Born in San José (Costa Rica) and shaped by growing up between Medellín (Colombia), Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and the Ruhr area (Germany), her practice is informed by experiences of cultural displacement and the tensions between her Colombian heritage and her lived reality in Germany. These transnational perspectives influence her interest in material histories, resource flows, and the socio-political conditions embedded within industrial and technological systems.

​

Her sculptures, installations, and performances investigate the memory of materials—tracing their origins and translating them into tangible form—often in relation to industrial manufacturing processes, emerging technologies, and questions of resource management.

​

She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where she was Meisterschülerin under Rosemarie Trockel, and received her MFA from the Royal College of Art, London (2005). Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Shedhalle, Zurich; Triangle France, Marseille; and the Barbican, London, and is held in public and private collections worldwide. She has received numerous awards and grants, most recently an artistic research grant from Kunstfonds Bonn (2024).

​

Alongside her artistic practice Echeverri Fernandez is also deeply committed to pedagogy and curatorial practice. Drawing from her experience teaching and mentoring at institutions such as HfBK Dresden, Krabbesholm Højskole, the Royal College of Art London, UdK Berlin, Goldsmiths, and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, she fosters interdisciplinary learning environments rooted in critical dialogue, inclusion, and care. Through her curatorial work with Changing Room, she extends these values into public programming, prioritizing diversity and safer, more accessible spaces for artistic exchange.
