Vibha Galhotra
Future Fables
Desert X AlUla 2026

From outside, the work sits in conversation with the landscape, providing a space for discussion, creativity and reflection. From within, the sculpture provides a perfect frame to contemplate the landscape.

Vibha Galhotra
Future Fables
Desert X AlUla 2026

Producing this work was a huge collaborative effort. Debris from AlUla becomes both material and metaphor. Visitors are invited to leave words, grief, hope, turning the work into a living archive.

Bloom
Desert X AlUla 2026

It’s difficult to grasp the scale of this work, nothing compares to actually standing in front of it. There’s something surreal about being able to shift the shadows within the landscape in realtime.

Bloom
Desert X AlUla 2026

Activated by sunlight, touch and movement. Two large wheels, turned by visitors, drive the kinetic sculpture to cast shifting shadow works across the floor. Bloom moves and breathes, echoing the native plant forms around it. At monumental scale, like the rock formations of AlUla, the work is at once a playground, a machine, and a part of the desert.

Magda’s creative energy, approach to making and engagement in the production process is always a delight to be a part of.

A large part of that process was balancing the delicacy and organic nature of these flowers and scaling them to something monumental and hyper-real.

Agnes Denes
The Living Pyramid
Desert X AlUla, 2026

Agnes Denes has been an inspiration to us for a long time. Getting to actually produce her work meant a lot.

The Living Pyramid is part of an ongoing series Denes has developed across decades. Each one specific to its place, its people, its environment. For Desert X AlUla 2026 we sourced every plant locally in the AlUla region, working in collaboration with the landscape.

In her own words: “Each Living Pyramid is different. The environment is different, the people are different. Connection is what’s important — connection is what the world needs.”
