Cacharros

Cacharros is a video record, produced during half a year, of the process of drying the dishes and the kitchen’s pots over a plane surface. The absence of a specific object for this use, makes the dishes accumulate, in silence, ones over others, each day in a different way. This record, edited quicker than its real velocity, is shown in a big format on an existent wall at the exhibition space, in a way that the dishes can have almost two meters.

The Chase

In this video installation we envision Madrid as the stage for a choreography of control and surveillance spaces. We made two simultaneous video records, the first one from the traffic control cameras of the Madrid City Hall.The second one was made from a bike which makes a route around Madrid. Both records reproduce the same route around Madrid from different points of view. Madrid turns into the main protagonist of this pursuit in its streets. The simultaneousness of the 2 records produces a perception tramp which makes audience believe that everything is happening in real time.

Dead

The atlas of human anatomy of the German Dr. Rohen and the Japanese Dr. Yokochi shows on the chapters dedicated to the neck and to the head, pictures where it is possible to recognize  the corpse used to be examined and exhibited. It is a luxury edition, different in its photography the quality from other anatomy books. Although, it is difficult to believe that the headless or skinless persons had agreed with ceasing their last pictures for publications. With this project, born from having recognized a close relative among the published corpses, I  try to give them that lacking story  after having removed the pretended hygienic filter of the academic reference arrows

Volareee

The new promotion law gives 1% from the budget to public art works. A competition is organized to make a sculpture to be placed in the  neighborhood  Lakua-2 in Vitoria, to be produced with the total sum …whit the surprise that this piece would be located in front of the siege of the  Basque Government. The brief calls for a “representative” piece that must cost maximum 80 millions of pesetas (500.000 €). Our answer to this call is actually a question. How high can you get with 80 millions? Height gives representativeness, so the higher the better, isn’t it? Our proposal consists of a carbon fiber tube, painted in nonstick golden color provided of little holes containing fiberglass light transmitters. Having organized the material in order to get as high as possible, gives to the piece an extreme thinness and, of course, flexibility. With just a little burst the tube starts to move, with a characteristic wave. A flexibility metaphor is produced, recalling at the same time something desirable but also the whip that punishes. The great  height and the object’s movements establish amazing relationships with the public at  different distances.

Z1. We are here

Installation at the deserted concrete factory Z1 in Berlin’ s suburb. The building’s volume stands out above the surrounding area. Four airport lights were placed at the top corners, these flicked gradually, subverting the common language of the luminous signals.
