An Exploration With Waterbodies
-
A sound piece created in collaboration between the body, the territory and the river Llobregat. In a performative act, water and glass vessels that produce the sound are interwoven. In this way, the history of rivers as beings full of material and political power unfolds. The performance explores the concept of sentimental cartography.
Paisajes en tiempo de emergencia // Landscape in state of Emergency
This project seeks to compose a sound piece in cooperation with the environment, the territory and the region of Berga, Spain. Especially with the use of geospatial set of bodies of water that cross the territory such as the Llobregat river and the Baells reservoir and their local understanding of this territory.
Residency & Field Research
Open Street Map of Konvent Zero.
The project has its starts in the residency call “Landscapes in state of Emergency” for the multidisciplinary art center -Konvent Zero in Cal Rosal, Cataluña in November 2023. With this opportunity I was interested in combining not just the remote sensing analyses that I did of the region while I was living in Germany. But also, take the time to hear, walk and record some local and general thoughts concerning the river and this territory. To understand deeply the state and co-relationship between the inhabitants of the area and the river Llobregat. By combining both positions, I was able to create a clearer image of the drought that the region is confronted with.
Some of the journal entries during the residency and the development of the performance for the Water Paths exhibition that took part of the Exhibition Water Paths in the Dauerwelle boat 2024.

Sentimental Cartography
Sentimental Cartography is a concept that I like to use to refer to the experience of feeling a territory by other means outside of the ocularcentrism perspective. Where the storytelling of a place is position as the main concern, and the poetry is one of its best allies to unfold the story on an emotional path with the audience.
