b. 1999, Madrid (ES). Based in Arnhem (NL)
I am a performance, interdisciplinary artist and writer. My practice departs from autoethnographic research, scavenging, archiving and different writing processes that can be translated into performances, publications, drawings or site-specific installations. Through them I research the notion of humanity as political beings, economic systems, microeconomies and power structures, as well as, material conditions, urban landscapes, alienation and cultural hegemony.
