Barcelona, 1979
I use the video as a medium of deconstruction of the realty through I reinterpret the pictures and i contextualize them. In this way, I realize a work of dissection of the environment where some different temporary stratus converge at the same time, creating a dreamlike and fictive universe between reality and imaginary.
Through the different video works, there is a persistence of recreation from at- mospheres that becomes sometimes haunting and watertight. These express the surprise in the quotidian, the games of the languages, and interferences between the different kind of genders. This elements are recurring in my work where it can be recognized some influences from painting or cinema.
The different registers that I use, consider from intimate works to ironic or sarcastic. Using this medium I interfere in the environment that I percept, transforming this in a literary body.
