STATMENT

Through cultural and social issues, using memory and all its registers as a common thread, reflexive games are triggered to the spectator. Through graphic/plastic languages, the aim is to investigate the traces of the past in order to, if possible, build a critical view of the present. To embrace our archives, the luminous and the dark ones, to know with which backpack we march and in which direction we do it.
