In sociology it is a state of weak or absent norms, rules, social order. It means that society goes from a normal state to a pathological state. I use plastic as a symbolic element of this state, as a material that drowns life, that isolates it, that abstracts it from the organic. I cover the …
I’m hiding part of my face behind a black cloth, spread from side to side between two opposite walls of the gallery, right next to the large window that overlooks the street. Passersby stop… I’m sitting in a black chair, in front of me a black table containing lipsticks and paper. I draw using my …
See the invisible, don’t see the visible. Denying the body to the spectators, denying the corporeal, separating from the sensual, remaining in a kind of cloister, existing only from the hands, which draw blindly with white chalk on white paper… an irreverence?

At the same time exposing on the social level, the concept of being “normal” within the mass and the risk that constitutes being different. In some fundamentalist and patriarchal societies, it is considered a very serious fault to be different, to distance …
This visual work exposes the need for a mourning and the impossibility of it, with the sequel of an inner struggle between remembering and resigning, seeking and failing to search, burying and unearthing, waiting and not waiting in the implacable step of the time that is eroding the images of a human being who was …
International Performance Biennale Deformes Mercurio, according to Roman mythology, is the messenger of the Gods, but in this case it alludes to the newspaper El Mercurio, as the messenger of the powerful elites.
