For Luchita Hurtado, the interconnectivity between human beings and the cosmos was heightened by seeing the first photographs of Earth from space in 1946 (pictured), and her work since has continued to propose all life forms as part of a single, living entity. Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn is now open at the Serpentine Galleries.

Luchita Hurtado’s work is characterized by an original view of the world that is both grounded and transcendental, and her subject matter makes use of unexpected perspectives – looking straight down or across her own body, or straight up to a glimpse of sky – using cosmic motifs and geometric abstractions. Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn is now open at the Serpentine Galleries.
