About works / performance

Because the media of each project responds to a different reference or context, my pieces range from videos to theatre plays, passing through photographs, printed texts and installations.

Comment

My works are motivated by what is behind our learned structures and the systems of everyday life. By exploding their small misfunctionings, I try to generate new systems in which the lack of functionality is replaced with poetry.
