I am an urban animal. I love to hunt stories about cities and their people and pour them into different forms: poetry, prose, or essay. Sometimes, these stories generate images or collages that come to complete them. Other times, the stories don’t like the form I chose for them, and they morph into different shapes. They transform into theater plays or performances. They have their way of getting to the public, and I follow their lead. For me, stories are like children, each with its own personality and destiny.
I believe in the power of vulnerability. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable to each other — when we talk, and especially when we listen — it becomes easier to live together, to respect and trust ourselves and others. Art creates pockets for vulnerability. I like to dig into these pockets. Since most of the topics I tackle are not easy, I always try to add some lightness to the way I approach them. I also like to add togetherness, as art is a dish better served in good company.
I collaborate with visual artists, contemporary dancers, writers, actors, directors, musicians, with architects and social scientists, driven by the belief that art should be accessible to everyone and an engine for social change. We create projects inspired by subjects that, as a society, we find difficult or are ashamed to discuss, such as death, domestic violence, mental health, infertility, or industrial decay. Memory — personal and collective — has always been one of my main topics of interest.
Since 2024, nature occupies a more central place in both my life and my artistic practices. I've come to understand that nature offers us incredible models for connecting, healing, flourishing, and reinventing ourselves and our communities. Water has become my teacher and my object of artistic research.
