STATEMENT

 I am a taxonomist of absence, a detective in bio-historical research. I work on the quest of recently extinct species. I am a collector of their dooms. My puncture of grief is displayed on old pin-pointed earth globes.

 —-

 I am a late descendant from Noah, an artist/naturalist who harvests but ghosts. My ark is wrecked, torn to pieces among different spaces, along different times. I avoid vividly depicting all that has already passed away, because there is no way back.

 —-

I am an insurgent gravedigger who stirs rebellion designing new mourning facilities. I build eco-memorials driven by a non-speciesist outlook. These settings could become educative displays for a dissident remembrance.

I am a geographer of Gaia´s pain, I chose faraway places, where oblivion is the rule. These places hide multiple layers of ecological traumas that should be explored and uncovered. I ephemerally install my artworks there. I thoroughly document every step of the process. At last, when my artworks are shown in conventional art spaces, the result is not only about the very objects but about a whole experience.
