Through spacial installations and self-publications, my work interrogates contemporary uses of new media, writings and images as phantoms, personal ruins or damaged memories; from family archives and museum conservation to cellphones images, in order to question the power relations between image "users" and new spaces of diffusion and communication.

In the digital residency the acceptance (or not) of the artist's work does not occur from the physical interaction and discussion but it arises from the number of likes and reacts. The most challenging part is that you have to create content for people that you don't know if they are interested in what you do.

The hybrid residency world is like having dinner with strangers. You may feel a bit awkward at the beginning but if you are sincere to what you do, you may discover very interesting ways to interact with these unique strangers.

The performative part is something that I am definitely interested in.

#1 How does your work address this relationship of the digital and the physical? My artist identity is keen on physical interaction. Nevertheless the digital world is a great chance to feel more extrovert and share my ideas with a larger group of people. Creating Planet C in order to present what I do was my intense to interact with other people pretending we are in a physical world but in terms of a digital approach.
