« The story that has been told, was lived in a group, but the voice who told it is mine, alone. This implies that in order to build the story, their had to be a separation».

A warm hole, a sleeping bag, awake or asleep, a flashlight, a night message, a camera turning off. Gazes and matters, presences and ghosts. I try to approach my work as a story, made of ellipsis and fragments.  The sculptures appear, take their place like characters, places and moments. Sometimes, they arrive first, and sometimes the story itself originates them. The performances are moments of spoken word, narration, where real or fictional stories interweave with videos, recordings, objects or research and are shared almost like a secret or a dream. Having read a lot of the Southamerican magical realism, I'm interested in the moments of sliding, where a daily object can acquire a magical characteristic: a water hose becomes a water path, for example, and the instant of oddness and mystery that follows.
