mercy | PLAY video 03' 57'' |
The automatic track. Animation. Any object placed on a section of train tracks is subject to sudden acceleration. A commonplace scene of the detachment of objects. Emissions and receipts. Applicable to rails, footpaths and all kinds of continuous forms. Cable tracking. Linera pampering. Dialogues at beginnings, ends, or half-way stations. The relativity of the individual position in relation to supposedly fixed points. |

jardi d'arrels (root garden) |
interactive non-linear video 2 hours approx in total |
An experiment in non-linear narrative in which the actors-participants carry out each of the many possibilities of a multifaceted script, arising from an initial situation. Like the actors before him, the user has to choose from several possible decisions at the end of each sequence in order to continue the narrative. The result is a rhizomatic process of narrative experimentation, always individual and neverending. |

butterfly dust |
An attempt to put together a collection of images of human beings in couples, based on the aesthetic premise of the metamorphosis that takes place when two people unite sexually. The old idea of the new, single body that is thus created (according to Plato, the origin of humanity), is develped with a visual likeness to some insects, more specifically, arachnids. With the same scientific spirit in which these animals are captured, collected and displayed, couples are encouraged to allow an image of their union to be captured on film.

how to mistreat falseness | PLAY video 2' 57'' |
A video-installation made to be exhibited in the ruins of the former theme park at Montjuïc, Barcelona, during the first triennial Barcelona Art Report. The phantasmagoric image of a clown that refuses to leave the space that had once been his natural habitat. A new look at the stereotype of the killer clown, this time presented as a metaphor of the fragile nature of survival. |

slow light | PLAY video 2' 23'' |
An attempt to assimilate the ownership of time, based on a careful analysis of the length of a day as the first, ancestral, profane unit of measurement, and of the permutability of its light, which defines images. At the same time, it aims to create a metaphor on its own condition, not only using video effects to accelerate reality, but also acting directly on it. The result is a short film in eternal progress (a 10 second squence deeds a whole sunny day of filming), in which daylight performs a dance with time that expands to many different objects. |

l'absent (teh absent one) | PLAY video 3' 19'' |
A video installation that attempts to show the phantasmagoric nature inherent in all representations. The light of a projector hits a chair, casting its shadow onto a nearby wall. The image it projects shows a person who sits on this shadow. The real chair is empty. This absence becomes even more obvious when the person depicted doesn't seem to be there either. His undeciphrable gestures prevent viewers from trying to find a narrative thread. They are the movemnts of a madman, someone deep inside another reality, someone who is not present. |
