• We are currently serving a sentence of recession, due to a grand pursuit of the objectives that lay in growth, profitability and pain avoidance. In such a complex network of agendas, it is impossible to predict any potentially harmful circumstances; but we can certainly profit from them. Everything might just end in chaos, but let’s hope that it be a deliciously, catastrophically beautiful, blackest of Black Swans. My work consists of artificially constructed worlds, navigated through fictional scenarios as a means with which to intensify, fantasise and aestheticise the darker reaches of political, economical and technological progress.
