Biography
I was born in the city of General Roca, Rio Negro province, 1981. I lived there until I turned 16, I then spent a year out as an ex-changed student in Finland, with a family in a house beside a lake, the school that I attended was forestall oriented and my companions were usually children of farmers who wanted to devote to this activity. I liked it very much, came out much to the forest, half the classes were outdoors, whether in winter with 23 degrees below zero or during the summer. This experience was to me like a renaissance, an awakening. To find other possible worlds, such as new means of going to school: like skating on the lake.
I’ve traveled a lot throughout my life. I guess somewhere I am a nomad without roots. I’ve never felt rooted to a land. Still I feel the Patagonian desert lays inside of me and somehow it shows. In general I'm adaptive and do not believe in anything fanatically, only in nature, I think there is always something more than what we perceive.
I currently live in Buenos Aires. In this city I have studied and lived for 8 years. I coursed the film school, after a brief tenure in the career of Political Science. I am currently completing an MA in Media and Communication at the Switzerland University Degree School (http://egs.edu/). I am in the process of researching and writing my thesis. I have also accomplished photography workshops with Alberto Goldenstein and currently with Guillermo Ueno, with whom I held a workshop with Claudio Caldini. I have shown at the Talent Campus Berlin Festival, The Biennial of the End of the World, call for Arteuna for the 30 years of the coup, Bienal De Almeria and the 2006 people of my city showing.
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.
It's a bit reductive to have to choose one work to represent me, various or all of them talk for and about me. The one I find more personal is a video work called Childhood, I filmed it along with a friend of mine and it portrays the impossibility of escaping from the past, the idea of being enclosed within a circle that has no exit
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
With a good pair of glasses
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?
