Part of the multimedia label TAL - Tech Art Lab.

I investigate and work with: sound, voice and words; traces left by bodies; territories, disappearances and absences; the memory and the environment; relations History-fiction; free and forced transits. I seek a poetic in which I intend to mix the experience, the memory, the imagination, the history, and the myths of each place with a political approach.
