What would be a monochrome world? If everything just had similar flavors and sounds? Diversity is richness.
When I moved to NY and discovered Queens, I felt a belonging sensation. This borough is an oasis that embraces people from everywhere, a fascinating multicultural place where the explosion of smells, sounds and colors fills our senses, where the flow of life pulses intensely.
GROUNDS videos correspond to alive photo IDs of specific space & time situations. Each location has its own chromatic and sound vibration. Stills are also indexes of them, but they flatten the passage of time to reveal it instantly. The camera is an extension of the body active. Images are traces of the event. Zoom-in lens amplifies visually the sensation of displacement, revealing an aspect of reality just possible through it.
The images reveal actions of the body, not through an external look, but from the perspective of the body itself in motion. These "inverted records" of performances, are attempts to inhabit the space & time of moments experienced. The public is invited to enter into the situations lived by the artist.

LIMINAL TREES Series
Since pandemic started, I left the city to quarantine. I’ve been surrounded by nature and felt a strong awareness of belonging to it, a great admiration and respect for our planet. We are in a transitory situation. The pass will never come back and we do not know the future. This is a LIMINAL condition. Environment is threatened and shows the urgent need of changes.
