La Catástrofe / About fiction
– Susan Hiller in The Myth of Primitivism, 1991
I am interested in the relationship between the self and the other, and in the estrangement and conflicts that this encounter generates. I use print, drawing and bookmaking in order to collect these confrontations and transmit the amazement to the viewer. Sometimes, these are small stories very well localised in a determined context, but in other occasions my work remits to phenomena that expand through history: migration, cultural identity, racism, colonialism and the discovery of the alien. Travelling is a key element of my practise, since it positions me in the role of the 'other', from where I can experiment in first person with the dislocation of the foreigner.
