IN THE RESIDENCY<br />

My artistic practice is based on subjects related to belonging and<br />

the subsequent construction of multiple realities. Its nature is selfreflective<br />

and centred on the individual’s subjectivity, its relation<br />

and interaction with the external world and its capacity of personal<br />

preservation through alternative systems. I am interested in<br />

creating fictional environments, which come from the belief that<br />

re-imagining spaces, objects and bodies, enables the construction<br />

of possibilities and immerses one in the logic of another place.<br />

In the past, I have explored these interests through projects<br />

related to sexuality, gender and science fiction. Currently, I am<br />

also working with concepts related to displacement, strategies of<br />

integration, the strangeness of landscapes and the fantastic in the<br />

quotidian.<br />

Interdisciplinarity and collaboration are central to my work.
