Vision of art
1. Choose a work that represents you, describe it in relation to its format and materiality, its relation with time and space, its style and theme; detail its production process.
I choose the pierced portraits series. It consists of an experimentation making several photographic takes of a same person at different times. Then the photos are pierced and superimposed. In order to generate the construction of a new dimension, taking into account the volume that stems from the addition of different photographs in which must be underlined the movement created by the sequence.
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
I would like the work to be read as a field of visual experimentation.
3. In reference to your work and your position in the national and international art fields, what tradition do you recognize yourself in? Who are your contemporary referents? What artists of previous generations are of interest to you?
The work can be defined as belonging to the sculptoric tradition. Contemporary referents of it are: Pablo Suarez, Gabriel Orozco,Claudia Fontes, Maurizio Cattelan, Martín Di girolamo, Carlos Blanco , Gumier Maier, Kabakov, Miguel Harte, Jeff Koons, Cicciolina, Beto de Volder, Marcelo Pombo, Damian Miroli.
4. Choose works or exhibitions from the last ten or fifteen years which in your opinion were very significant and explain why
The Tao Art Show. I find it to be a very meaningful show where an ensemble of artists are shown who clearly stand out for their stance concerning art. In Guillermo Kuitca’s show at Malba I was interested by the artist’s process and his pictoric poetics. The show of Liliana Porter at the Sala Cronopios of the Centro Cultural Recoleta stood out for its broad span.
5. What tendencies or groupings from common elements do you see in argentine art of the last ten or fifteen years?
I choose not to answer
