A RELIABLE KIND OF UNCERTAINTY
A series of sculptures that sound out the relationship between geometry and movement in the act of playing.
A reliable kind of uncertainty
The basic shapes (square, triangle and circle) used by 3 classic board games are mixed together on a single surface. Chess uses the square in a game that depends on our mental ability to plan a strategy. Backgammon uses the triangle and is a game that mixes strategy with chance, given that it is played with dice. Twister uses circles. The game depends on your physical ability to maintain balance and it is subordinate to chance, since it uses a roulette. These different playing mechanics are shown in the way the elements that correspond to each of the games relate to the grid on the floor.

STANDARD FORMS
There is a purely formal aspect in the processes of globalization. Adopting a standard or following a protocol not only implies affiliating to a set of specific rules, but also adapting to specific formats. These forms are thought and measured to be able to connect with each other. They are normative forms whose function is to homogenize data, materials, energies, trajectories and durations. What makes a typology of forms more restrictive than others?

Adopting a standard or following a protocol not only implies affiliating to a set of specific rules, but also adapting to specific formats.

EC/TR 60083 shows all the variants of electric plugs and sockets that currently exist in the world. This diversity has a very simple explanation: in its origin electrical infrastructures developed independently in each country, at a time when the current globalization was far away and it was difficult to imagine that devices would ever be portable. The eleven plugs are connected with cables. Electricity travels through the installation using adapters to connect the different plugs and finally light a lamp at the end of the circuit.

Action documentation
2014 - ongoing
In 2014, I sent a small empty envelope from Berlin to Marseille. Once there, a friend put it inside a somewhat larger envelope and sent it to Ghent. A friend received it and put it back in an envelope slightly larger than the previous one before sending it to London. The operation was repeated and the package was gaining volume. So far it has traveled to 21 countries. The package will continue traveling until it reaches a size that makes it impossible for it to continue its journey, until it is too suspicious for customs, or until it gets lost in one of its routes.

On September 3, 1967, Sweden changed its circulatory regulations to move from driving on the left side of the street to doing it on the right. Sweden produced cars adapted to drive on the right side, which facilitated exports. To prepare the population for the day of the change, a contest was organized to reward the best song that would help people remember the impending change of direction. The winner was Håll dig till höger, Svensson ("Stick to the right", Svensson) of the Telstars group. More than forty years later, the Republic of Samoa made the opposite operation. The change to driving on the left aligned them with the most important economies of their region (Australia, New Zealand and Japan). They could easily import second-hand Japanese cars (the cheapest in the world). They made the change on September 8, 2009 and, like Sweden, they also wrote a song to remember the change: Auala.

Forty lightbulbs are grouped into five groups of eight. Each bulb has a cable with a plug. There is a wall socket under each bulb. Some of the bulbs have a plug of the Schuko type (the standard in most European countries) at the end of the cable. Other bulbs carry plugs with other standards (Chinese, American, British, Indian, etc.) Trying to connect these bulbs would be impossible, since the wall socket that corresponds to them is the European type. Thus, bulbs with the European standard are turned on, whereas those with other standards are off.
The off and on bulbs represent a binary code that forms a word when interpreted as ASCII code. Lightbulbs that are off represent zeros; lit bulbs represent ones. The word they form is "unfit”.

EL LUGAR QUE CORRESPONDE
2015
This project was commissioned for the exhibition “El Público” at "Centro Garcia Lorca" in Granada, Spain. After collecting 31 postcards sent from Granada as souvenirs, the addresses of the places these postcards where sent to were tracked down. A picture of each one of these addresses was taken and then turned into postcards. These new postcards were sent back to Granada, to the address of the image that appeared on the original postcard. Both sets of postcards were presented in metal panels, each one linked to its respective pair using lines that proportionally depicted the distance between the two portrayed cities.

drawing series, 2014
In this drawing series, simple schemes used to organize data (a time line, groupings, maps, a chromatic circle) apply the elements that codify the lines in a metro map (numbers and colors) to reorder the information of all the European capitals’ metro maps. When schematizing what has already been schemed, these systems nullify one another, giving us back nothing more than forms and colors, without function or meaning.

THE LOST GLORY
pencil on paper and objects, 2014
42 x 57,3 cm
After buying 8 merit medals at different flea markets, I contacted a fortuneteller for a session of Psychometry (also called Token-Object Reading). This technique is a kind of extrasensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by having physical contact with it. I asked him to give me the most accurate physical description possible of the face of the person to whom the medal belonged. Using such descriptions, facial composites for each one of the described people were drawn by a portrait painter, using a similar technique to the one used for identi-kits.

FUTURE PAST ARCHITECTURE
2015
The project consists of a series of 82 images. Each image shows a still frame from a different film; all films set in the future. In each frame a view of a city is shown. Below the image, the year when the film is set can be read.
All the images are displayed next to each other as a timeline. This timeline is based on the year the film was set in, but it does not consider the year in which it was made.

THE LINES
drawing series, 2014
In this drawing series, simple schemes used to organize data (a time line, groupings, maps, a chromatic circle) apply the elements that codify the lines in a metro map (numbers and colors) to reorder the information of all the European capitals’ metro maps. When schematizing what has already been schemed, these systems nullify one another, giving us back nothing more than forms and colors, without function or meaning.
Metro lines of all European capitals’ organized by joining the end of each line with the beginning of the next one by numerical order.

THE LOST GLORY
pencil on paper and objects, 2014
42 x 57,3 cm
After buying 8 merit medals at different flea markets, I contacted a fortuneteller for a session of Psychometry (also called Token-Object Reading). This technique is a kind of extrasensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by having physical contact with it. I asked him to give me the most accurate physical description possible of the face of the person to whom the medal belonged. Using such descriptions, facial composites for each one of the described people were drawn by a portrait painter, using a similar technique to the one used for identi-kits.

In Inventory a flower bouquet had been broken down into its component parts and obsessively drawn stem by stem, leaf by leaf and petal by petal. The bouquet is fractured in more than 3,700 small-format drawings organized by size order. Each drawing had been given a code according to the position it occupied in the bouquet.
