ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOLS, PRISIONS & RESIDENCES
The work tries to group and put in relation different mediums and supports from actions and process that I started in Rotterdam. They has to do with the idea of property and the habitability or usability of the spaces as a way to find a personal stability and environment empathy that made me work and produce in a new context.
In that sense, “Floor Piece”, “Images From Ceiling” or the stop-motions and images from “SameShitDifferentDay” series tried to be a possession-taking of the place that was “my private ownership” during my residence.

El proceso de trabajo como artista invitado nació de una necesidad de tomar posesión del lugar y nuevo contexto como manera de comenzar a desarrollar nuevas ideas. Tenía claro que no quería desarrollar un trabajo meramente productivo en el estudio, sino que apriori deseaba llegar a algo que no pudiera realizar en otro lugar. Paradójicamente "el lugar", o todo lo que me era "mi lugar" durante aquel período fue sometido a interrogación y experimentación; el estudio, los espacios que habitaba, etc. acabarón convirtiendose en la excusa para la realización de una serie de fotografías y acciones que experimentaban sobre la usabilidad de los espacios, al tiempo que planteaban una reflexión sobre el aburrimiento y en cierto modo una profundización en el campo de la imagen.

Con motivo de mi participación en el certamen y exposición de arte joven Ertibil2008, con la fotografía "Same Shit Different Day. 2007", escribí un texto para el catálogo en el que me refería a la imagen como conflictiva para mí, básicamente por haber sido producida en otro contexto y por ello la situaba símbolicamente en el centro de todos los conflictos; en el vientre. Tuve muchas dudas sobre si presentarme con esa foto al certamen porque me parecía que había como una no-correspondencia o una distancia entre el contexto en el que la realicé y el contexto en el que se iba a exponer en Bilbao y no me apetecía que fuese representativa de mi trabajo. Para mi sorpresa la foto ganó el primer premio.
