«Moonshine» featured at TimeOut Barcelona
As part of the show «Paradís Perdut, Alg(unes) mirades al voltant del Jardí», «Moonshine» tries to expand on the phenomenology of the screen. The phantasmagorical is a constitutive condition of all screens, but it is, in this instance, more evident since the nature that produces it is inherently blind.

«Ekphrasis», «Palabra de decapitado» and «Involuntary»
Among the the new content featured in "Artistas Residentes" at Hangar, you can find not only the conceptual development of new works like "Ekphrasis" and "Palabra de decapitado", but also a short review of an old work, "Involuntary", not featured here.

«L'Escola Moderna» at Galeria H2O, Barcelona
As part of the one hundred year celebration of the «Setmana Tràgica», and as homage to Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, founder of The Modern School, and executed without trial for its anarquist leanings, «Encyclopedic Sequence» adds arguments to the ubiquitous ordering of the visual regime.
