Tired of Counting, 2011

Everything is reduce to money, Economy and numbers so it is life. The repetition, the emptiness invades our understanding of a world that tries to give economical value to everything on it.
Since childhood I have a conflict with numbers, they bore me, the abstraction of them move me away from the real, from what I consider real, from emotions, people, nature, life... In an economical world, everything is tiresome, jobs are transform in a parody, trap in this realm man can only count.

Series: I hate white: "Stained" 2011

This is the third and last performance from the series I hate white, a trilogie dealing with nationalism, racism and violence. This piece was presented at Kurt Kurt Forever in Sant Denis.
The piece deals with the idea of Tacheé(Stained, Manchados), the idea of being somehow a visible minority and with the destruction of the idols, the symbols and those icons that we though once untachable.

Series: I hate white: "...toll for you" 2010

"...toll for you", 2010
Accion MAD, Madrid

The piece is an oda to the ecosystem form by humanity where each men is part of a sensitive and fragile structure. The tittle comes from a poem of John Donne. This poem was also use in the film For whom the bells toll, based on the novel from Heminway about spanish civil war.
Taking this sentence as a metaphor I explore concepts as nationalism, patritism, humanity and personal responsability and involment in todays political panorama.

Series: I hate White: "Brothers", 2010

Fotos Diego Calvi.

Presented at the festival Cuerpo a Cuerpo, Spain

This piece is part of the series “I hate white”, where the artist explores ideas about demagoguery and violence. The concept of white has simbolized purity, virginity, cleanness versus black charge with negative connotations and red associated with the violence or the impure.
In the piece Brothers, the artist plays in one hand with the colour and in the other with the concept of brotherhood, associated with nationalism. In any case the piece plays around preconceived ideas and attitudes.
