My work is involved within notions as
impermanence, change, human energies, detachment and natural entities, as materials that can trigger users, situations and spaces, a kinship with their own experience of the body and its levels of sensitivity. I am interested in the manufacturing of time through the sense of touch and the sound as a political material and in its conditions of incommensurability and being borderless. I make use of sources as performance and compositions that allow spectators to get involved in experiences which guide their time perception into struggles, practices and unique occasions of exhaustment, emergency and cycles. Lately my gaze shifted to interactive performance experiences, where through objects, discursive strategies and sound, users engage in action with the space and the guiding lines. This approach goes along with a wider understanding of the public and its involvement which you can see in my artistic projects. All my projects usually involve a research based outcome, they are deeply connected to the investigation, where there is usually a publication or essay which becomes material for speculation and experimentation, to finally configure a solid self standing situation, apparition or composition. If you have any question or just want to talk, write me! P.
