What do I create/produce?
When a place does not allow the outside air to circulate with the inside air, there comes the need to find an entrance that is also an exit. If none it is in sight, I take myself to poetically conceive impact structures, space folds, and traversing portals. When I go beyond closed rooms, the notion of space is no longer only one and it varies in different atmospheres. It gives way to art that fits not only in a single space.
Unrestricted by media and research sources, I produce graphic essays, electronic diagrams, urban interventions, voluminous shapes, and energetic pulses that can pass through one or two walls. I join colleagues/accomplices to think about creative activity beyond instituted places. Just because I do not want to stay in a single place, I draw myself to things that, directly or indirectly, involve circulatory and crossing dynamics, which may be artistic, philosophical, or scientific. Before being considered a disciplinary and isolated field of knowledge, I find in the terms of art an opportunity to exceed its functional grammar, to inflect code regimes, to impregnate/vitalize the language and its effects on reality.
