About

My work is centered on the observation of the Unheimlich in the everyday, the discrete transgressions of what is considered normal, as a kind of micropolitical gestures against the Establishment. Using playfulness as raw material, I try to generate controversial situations to disrupt the passive consumption of objects, images or experiences.

This situations (that usually involve strangers) are materialize with both writings, photography, video and installation in cross-disciplinary works.
