23th-7th April 2024:
Over Easter I have been able to work on the new project Blurred Realities in collaboration with the choreographer and dancer Sonia Rodríguez (my partner and mother of my son), in such a special place as the Centro Coreográfico de San Sebastian de La Gomera. I’m very grateful to Martin Padrón (director of the choreographic centre) and his team for their hospitality, trust and interest in our work.
Two weeks of artistic residency have given shape to a project that was born as an idea in 2021 (and supported by Fonds Darstellende Künst), and which still has a long way to go. Blurred Realities choreographically explores the behaviour of people suffering from memory loss pathologies. The project includes an unpublished audiovisual piece filmed in unique locations on the island of La Gomera. These sequences are theatricalised fragments with a strong surrealist, symbolic and aesthetic charge. Last Friday 5th April we held a public show of the work in progress for the local community.

Artistic collaboration with Boris Eldagsen:
Since April 2023 I have had the good fortune to explore the world of AI-generated images from the hand of my German friend Boris Eldagsen. In fact, he has been my mentor in this new visual field. I invite you to come to Guelman & Unbekannt Gallery (Berlin) to see the exhibition of his project TRAUMA PORN today 17th November 2023 (Premiere in Germany!!). I had the pleasure to collaborate as his assistant in the generation of some of the AI-generated images shown in the exhibition. Working with his archive of vintage images of the rise and fall of Nazism has been hard because of the rawness of many of the photographs but very interesting on an artistic level.
Images generated with Midjouney based on photographs from the 1920s,1930s and 1940s in Germany.
19th-22nd February 2022:
Test-screening of UNFOCUSED TOUCH
I’m thrilled to announce that this Saturday 19th February my short film Unfocused Touch will be screened for the first time in the gallery Alles Mogliche Berlin. This work is a collaboration with the choreographer Ruben Reniers and explores the emotions that arise from the “new normal”. The film searchs for new ways to illustrate choreographic movement and focuses on five concepts: uncertainty, isolation, memory, life and death.
This project is supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media within the program NEUSTART KULTUR.
