— Hello!

I am an artist working on personal and comissioned projects, more focused on video, performance and text.

I am particularly interested in projects involving cross- disciplinary approaches, writing, or mediums in between, so if this is you, let’s chat.

Construir habitando (2018-)

[trans.To build by living]
Installation, three-channel video, drawing, performance, participatory art
This work has been developed around the relationship of memory and body with the space of the house. Over time, it seeks to gather experiences from an expanding group of people and is divided into three research exercises:


1.


In the first stage, it was proposed to each participant the freehand representation of their first house. These drawings are a product of the architectural space and the lived experience. When all the floor plans are superimposed in the same drawing, a space that disappears as it grows is obtained, becoming illegible and uninhabitable in its multiplicity of paths.



Layering of house plans drawn by memory by participants


2.


The memory-image experiment is indissociable from the body. Another exercise is proposed: to walk over the imagined house plan in a wide space, trying to make the steps correspond with the real dimensions of the exterior walls.

While walking and projecting the imagined space, houses exist in an exhaustive construction that is never materialized. The drawing would erase itself in the moment of its creation. It is only possible to capture the present moment, or resort to memory to project the previous lines of the path. It is the place where we walk in the present that belongs to us and that precedes a construction. To draw the lived space is as deceptive as doing so by walking. Even so, the space the participants delimited was closer to reality as it was in relation to their bodies, which became a measure. As part of the process, the participants repeated the walk, this time leaving a trace behind them and revealing their constructions, which were left in the space (image below).




3.


The video recordings of the house drawings walked by the participants, were also installed in one of the childhood houses initially drawn. The projected videos activated spaces of the house where there is usually a void or an obstacle, opening access to another space. The exterior walls that people delimited when walking are inscribed on the interior walls of the house. The house is only lit by projections, turning a space that our steps know into one that vision estranges.









4.


Each walk was recorded in three points of view. In addition to the installation, the videos were mixed into a three-channel video (excerpt below), for other exhibitions. The editing repeats the logic of the drawings, interleaved in the same space, at the same time.
