I intend to investigate on the image configuration of built city space by technical means, as a result of the intense live experience that implies to live in such a complex city as 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 awaken by material properties of buildings, such as scale, size and shape.

 

Both heterogeneity and discontinuity that offers the experience of the contemporary city have carried me to use in my recent work fragmentation strategy as a constant. In the case of three-dimensional proposals, fragmentation becomes physical, ie, I work with fragments of different materials, articulating, along with photographic images of the city, a space whose source is the overwhelming experience of breathing, walking and living Mexico city.

​

In Conquista visual, my most recent project, my work addresses critically the identity effects of collective imagery about Mexico City, in relation to the means historically used for its representation. The result incorporates these concepts into artist books, paintings and photomontages, from the appropriation and reconfiguration of already existing images and images of my authorship. So, it aims to reformulate in visual terms the appropriation of imagery associated to Mexico City.
