Yasmin Antún (Argentina)
Yasmin Antún (Córdoba, Argentina, 1997) is a transdisciplinary artist working across performance, installation, sculpture, cinema, and photography.
Her current practice is part of an ongoing exploration of the taxonomy of animals and plants, intertwining it with human taxonomy. She develops forms and sensitive devices in which plants are placed on the same level as human beings, as well as others in which humans inhabit the skin of animals. Through these operations, she seeks to explore possibilities for more-than-human coexistence and to bridge the distances we have constructed between species.
Antún combines a sense of wonder toward the everyday with the intense curiosity of an artist who comes from elsewhere and searches for her path as part of a pack. She uses humor as a tool in her performances, pushing the idea of justice almost to the point of absurdity in a world that seems to be heading toward extinction. Her constant concern for the environment—at times turning into IMPOTENCE—acts as a driving force behind a practice that, far from being apocalyptic, questions our relationships with what surrounds us and the finite nature of those relationships.
Her research has been enriched through volunteer work related to animal care, and diving—experiences through which she exchanges knowledge and ideas with others and encounters different ways of inhabiting this world.
Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Córdoba, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and Barcelona. Highlights include Estadio Inicial at the Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires (2026); Sanatorio de árboles (Tree Sanatorium), presented in the special invited artists section of MAC – Mercado de Arte Contemporáneo de Córdoba; and her solo exhibition La ironía de los halos (The Irony of Halos) at Bastón del Moro (2024). In 2025, she took part in the R.A.R.O. Colombia residency, and in 2026, in the Galpón de Aluminé residency in Argentine Patagonia.
She lives and works in Córdoba, Argentina. Her studio practice is divided between Hotel Inminente in the city of Córdoba and Polvora 720 in Buenos Aires.
