Between Air, Silence and Structure

Bianca Barandun is a Swiss artist whose practice unfolds across sculpture, wall works, drawing and installation. Working between Germany and Switzerland, her recent exhibitions position material not as mass but as rhythm.
Forms appear suspended, fragmented or partially withheld, operating in states of transition rather than completion. Her work resists narrative clarity, favoring conditions where memory, movement and spatial perception remain unstable.
Barandun’s installations are built through translation. Drawings migrate into carved wood, ceramic reliefs and suspended objects. Decisions are governed less by representation than by structural tension: what remains visible, what drops out, what holds. Materials are treated as responsive agents. Wood warps, ceramics carry traces of pressure, surfaces retain gestures rather than images. This refusal of polish allows form to breathe, registering pauses, hesitations and shifts in tempo.
The solo exhibition Hollow Bones at Marc Bibiloni Gallery in Madrid brings these concerns into a single spatial composition. Inspired by avian anatomy without becoming illustrative, the exhibition assembles hanging sculptures, wall-based works and reliefs into a quiet system of suspension.
Air becomes a material condition. Emptiness functions as structure rather than absence. Barandun’s work does not ask to be decoded. It holds its position through balance, restraint and the persistence of form in space.
