About 14 Billion

In collaboration with arachnologists, astrophysicists, architects and engineers, Saraceno has spent two years developing 14 Billion (Working Title). His point of departure for this work was science's use of spiders' webs when describing the origin and structure of the universe. The resulting installation spans an enormous 400 cubic metres, is composed of 8000 black strings connected by over 23,000 individually tied knots and depicts a Black Widow spider's web at an 1:17 scale.

14 Billion (Working Title) is a development of the work Galaxy Forming along Filaments, like Droplets along the Strands of a Spider's Web which he presented at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009 and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in 2008.

14 Billion (Working Title) has been exhibited at Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm and the Baltic Art Centre, Gateshead, UK in 2010. -
