We´re missing a burrito, Guys. 2024
In 2019, I began to return sporadically to Lake Tahoe. Having spent much of the previous five years producing in Mexico City, I wanted to return to the place where I had begun my work with a much sharper perspective on the living conditions of Latino migrant communities. I finally settled here, and in 2023, […]

Conquista mariachi, un tigre de bengala y un cowboy chino. 2022
This serie is the result of fortuitous encounters of spaces, figures and gestures on strips of images. It has been made in places as disparate as the northern mountains of Madrid, the casinos of Reno (Nevada), in the United States, or the streets, squares and food markets of Mexico City. Taken between 2017 and 2021, each celluloid […]

8.- The Mexicanas. 2020
The Mexicanas is a play of double series and double exposures; a play whose board is reminiscent of an old-fashioned, variegated diaporama. The first of these series, dating back to early 2015, consists of images that seem to come out of a collector’s cupboard for old photographs: lost scenes from travelogues that may have gone […]

I have never known how to dance Latin rhythms, so I proposed to invert the relationship between master and apprentice and […]

5.- Lección de mambo. 2018
The Mexicanas (2017), which I published in book form in 2020, is the first project I did in the city. In The Mexicanas (2017), initially published as a book, is the first project I made in the city in Mexico.

4.-Cleopatra Stomp. 2015
Both chance and intention participate in my work. The first, because recognizing and seizing the chance is an intrinsic part of working with images; the second, because each new step you take in the same direction fills with coherence the path you have already traveled. All research is about taking an idea to the end […]
