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.
