About
Anna Pasco Bolta explores how life and existence are constructed and sustained through research that intertwines art, science, and technology from an ecological and relational perspective. Her transdisciplinary practice critically examines systems of coexistence and proposes more intimate and co-creative ways of relating to other species and the environment. By combining art theory, popular culture, gastronomy, performance, and scientific collaboration, Pasco challenges the dichotomies of Western thought and foregrounds the symbiotic relationships that sustain everyday life.
Since 2022, she has been a lecturer in the Department of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Architecture of the Technische Universität München, where her teaching and research focus on situated environmental knowledge, material ecologies, and art–science methodologies.
Her work moves between artistic, academic, and scientific contexts and has been presented internationally in museums, exhibition spaces, festivals, and scientific conferences. Her research has been shared within peer-driven scientific settings in fields such as microbiology, environmental humanities, and global health.
Pasco publishes across artistic, cultural, and scientific platforms, including books, artist publications, magazines, and peer-reviewed academic journals.
Her work has been widely recognized through numerous international art prizes and research-based artist residencies, which have provided sustained frameworks for experimentation, fieldwork, and collaborative inquiry.
