My work is based on a transdisciplinary approach which includes drawing, public intervention, action, video installation, events organisation, research projects and curating.
I focus on the use of different forms of presentation as a resource and methodology to generate potential scenarios - shareable territories that favor the timely activation and recognition of a self and collective empowerment. I am interested in how art can be a contribution to the collective imagination and facilitate a transformation of situations and realities.
These different forms of presentation ( an installation of drawings, a public intervention, etc) propose a radical communication within a shared meeting space, and use a poetical and political disruption or interference in different fields of public or everyday activity
The evolution of the original proposal is a key factor in many of my projects, since they maintain an itinerancy in the different cities where I habitually work : Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Valencia, Buenos Aires, Tijuana. A part of each proposal is based on the invitation to other activists, cultural workers and artists to intervene in their production.
