[Bio c. 2011]

In my works I explore the relations between architecture, geographic spaces and the negotiation of individual and collective identity. Using primarily video, photography and narration, I use architecture as a performative and contextual space where the shaping of identity stems out of a series of conflicts, between economic powers, social roles, cultural and linguistic specificities. Even though they are built as assemblages of narrative, performative and documentary elements, my videos maintain a strong pictorial quality.
