Nairy Baghramian is an internationally acclaimed Iranian-born German visual artist celebrated for her site-responsive sculptures and installations that deeply examine the relationships between architecture, the human body, and institutional spaces. Born in Isfahan, Iran, in 1971 to an Armenian family, she fled the country as a teenager following the post-revolutionary upheavals and has lived and worked in Berlin since 1984. Her distinct visual vocabulary bridges the legacies of Minimalism, Surrealism, and Post-Minimalism, subverting traditional notions of monumental sculpture by highlighting vulnerability, interdependence, and physical support systems.
