I am interested in proposing transformative atmospheres and working at the intersections between installation, performance, and sculpture. I tend to explore elements and substances, working mostly with water.
I work at the boundaries of what is referred to as object, space, clothing, substance. I test state changes of matter as a tool to intervene in the perception of time and de-categorize the notions around us.
I aim to invoke situations where substances and elements relate to each other in new ways, towards constructing an epiphany of the everyday, the possibility of feeling time with a different density, altering states of matter, mind and sensing.
My work is always in search of systems than can function as a mirror of our transformations, fragility and inter-relations as existent beings.
Through an exercise in Luis Terán’s sculpture workshop, I began exploring compositions with water and threads, eventually leading me to ice as a sculptural material, using it as a medium to connect objects, materials, and situations in order to create ephemeral, durational performance pieces.
I applied to Curriculum Cero with those ice sculptures, participated in the opening with a piece that lasted around eight hours as ice, and then all the elements that were joint by it, collapsed on a metal sink.
The following year, I produced the installation for my solo exhibition “Still Ours”, which was the prize of Curriculum Cero contest. I found a studio that was mirror-like the exhibition room so the production of the work was a kind of constant rehearsal of ice and water drops composing the space.
I usually work at a conceptual and experimental level and at a certain point I like to invite collaborators from different artistic, technical and craft backgrounds, as their contributions help bring the project to a level of realization that I couldn’t achieve on my own.
Following my solo exhibition at Ruth Benzacar where ice pieces melt and water drops travelled along different bird paths to a single vessel, I began focusing on the movements of water and the potential of this substance as a material to alter the perception of time and space.
My most recent project was a proposal that was finalist at Azcuy Contest. The project is a cascade applied to the garden walls of the building of the contest. Sculptural presences share water “From mouth to mouth” and manifest through the water’s choreography, unfolding minute by minute. Sculptures of molluscs, architectural ornaments and art history symbols get intertwined by water to offer a multisensory experience.
I was interested in the possibility to generate relationships that de-hierarchize symbols or element categories and to produce situations where everything is shared and interconected, in resonance with Sandra Díaz , our recently Tyler price awarded ecologist.
