Using media such as photography, video, installation, sculpture and performance, I work on the boundaries of communication, body and identity. My poetics consists of deconstructing, decontextualising and interweaving their constituent elements such as languages, gestures and symbols.
My artistic research focuses on the body, animate or inanimate, and its interaction with otherness. I explore possible forms of dialogue and contamination between systems of different natures. I’m particularly interested in creating spaces of action and connection, whether conceptual or physical. Such interfacing work stages and connects different elements, giving rise to uncontrolled processes of dialogue and exchange between its fundamental components through irony, play and paradox.
