Through my work I investigate about the image configuration of built space in the city by technical means, as a result of the intense live experience in Mexico City. I want to show the decisive nature of technical means –mostly photography- for collective conception of the urban built environment.

 

From the integration of different media -ranging from painting, photography, walking and three-dimensional works- I implement strategies that show my experience as a resident of Mexico City, especially in relation to the emotions awakened by material properties of buildings, such as scale, size and shape.

 

Both the heterogeneity and discontinuity inside the contemporary city have carried me to use fragmentation -that becomes physical- in three-dimensional proposals. These artworks integrate different materials -such as mirrors- along with urban photography. As a result, they articulate a space whose source is the overwhelming experience of breathing, walking and living Mexico city.

​

In Conquista visual, my work addressed critically the identity effects of collective imagery about Mexico City, in relation to the means historically used for its representation. The result incorporated these concepts into artist books, paintings and photomontages, from the appropriation and reconfiguration of already existing images and images of my authorship. It aimed to reformulate in visual terms the appropriation of imagery associated to Mexico City.

Más allá del canto apocalíptico, my most recent project, concentrates in climate change, with an artistic approach that take again lake scenery iconography from Mexico City, through digital photomontages in which I integrate present layers of the city and imagne how the can live together in the future.
