Using performance, installation and video, sketching, painting and photography, I am interested in exploring and perceiving urban landscapes and patterns. By substituting or transposing elements from a city to another, appear new related locations. The performance serves as a tool to initiate this processes of perception, data collections, and reorganization. I’m also interested in microcosms shaped by the textures of substances, the effect of light and the accidental appearances of recognizable forms in unexpected contexts.
