Statement
Artista e investigador multidisciplinar. Mi principal foco de interés es el agenciamiento de los dispositivos de producción, reproducción y organización de las imágenes que determinan nuestra relación con las mismas en la cotidianidad. Me desenvuelvo en el campo del arte desde una visión biopolítica y holística. En ese sentido, mi hacer está estrechamente relacionado con labores de comisariado y educación.
Abordo la producción artística desde su dimensión performativa y partiendo de múltiples lenguajes dentro de los que destacan la fotografía, la performance, el vídeo y la instalación. En mi hacer, trabajo en torno al cuerpo-otro, el tiempo no-cronológico y la virtualización como movimiento ontológico. Actualmente, mi investigación troncal, aborda la videoinstalación interactiva como escenario y dispositivo relacional.
