Treehouse

Who defines whom?

The tree that invades the construction or the concrete which delimits the tree?

Boxes 2

They aim to protect the contents of the external, unknown enemy. But when we imagine them made out of glass, they become showcases that prevent you from breathing the air they contain. You may also discover that the arrangement of the objects they hold is not always random and often show a nonexistent content. What failed destiny, a cage without a prey.

Boxes 1

Daily we move from box to box, boxes enclose inhabit our supposed possession. We travel and sleep in boxes; our matter will decompose, slowly decomposes, inside one of them ... Who could escape completely from their six walls? Negligible as pillboxes or huge shopping malls, they limit our hikes or drawn through simulated doors, windows and stairs that confort us through the labyrinthine and fiction spaces.

 

Selection previous work

In general I take a figurative element, related to housing, as generic model. It is manipulated until it reaches the shape of a coded image to be transported to a space where it never belonged to before. In this process a new and fictitious space, void of human presence is created. The scenery changes from having a minor role to playing the main character, in such a way that it depends on itself. The background becomes the foreground.

Sometimes these sceneries make reference to clonic spaces without identity. Places of limited occupation such as offices or transitory areas including corridors, stairs, waiting rooms and lifts.

I have gradually noticed that these temporary living spaces are submitted to themselves. They seemingly follow an impersonal code loaded with geometry where memory is adapted to a state of concentration or quite simply expectancy. Their cold appearance determines a loss of references.
