Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Performance | Pulse Agglomerate

Jun 15 - Jun 16, 2026

A biometric memorial performance featuring one hundred wearable lightbulbs, each glimmering to the recorded heartbeat of a resident of Donetsk, Ukraine. In this performance, these one hundred heartbeats reappear as a processional memorial, carried by Ukrainian artist Maria Kulikovska. Using a sensor, participants are invited to record their own heartbeat, with each new recording replacing the oldest one, evoking mourning while affirming continuity, solidarity, and resilience in the face of ongoing war.

This performance is organized and presented by the IZOLYATSIA Foundation (Kyiv), in collaboration with Atelier Lozano-Hemmer (Montréal), Max Estrella Gallery (Madrid), and bitforms gallery (New York). The IZOLYATSIA Foundation is the organizer and responsible party for the event. The performance takes place on the occasion of Art Basel’s Zero 10 digital art exhibition, in which Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is a participating artist.
