| I remember a journey to Figures in the north of Spain to see the
Theatre-Museum of Salvador Dali. I was impressed by atmosphere of the whole
space and the dreamlike feeling inside the building. I was ten years old
at that time. When I'm filming onsite, the light defines the intensity of the instant. It creates a modulation in the character of the images. As a hunter, I work waiting for the right moment of light. Usually that allows me around one or two hours of filming per day. And when I install the videos in a space, the projected images arrive from the darkness. Both, the taking and projecting, is created in the juxtaposition of darkness and light. As an artist I try to live a shamanic experience in each project I develop. "The shipwreck of mankind" was filmed in a salt desert in Bolivia. During the wet season, the Salar de Uyuni becomes a lake and as it is 4.000 m above the sea. The reflection of light creates an environment different from our known realities. I'm interested in the cosmogony relationship between universe and human being. As a political statement, I work with ancient communities who are living in the state of emergency. "Exposed to the erosion of time, they vanish into the emptiness. In silence and isolation, they are testimony of an existence which, in disappearing, becomes a declaration of principles.” It will be the first time that I have the opportunity to install my work in an open space. Actually, it is an exciting experience for myself. I like the idea to create interrogation thoughts that expand in different directions. |
