Nature wrapped in plastic
In the age of a pandemic, we are wrapping our bodies in more and more plastic, and in a consequence of that is that we are wrapping our natural surroundings in layer so of plastic. Fotographic essay May 2020
Growing with plastic
Local investigation into the spring flowers and the plastic that provides nutrients. Plastic waste is now an integral part of the growing cycle of plants.
The Rites/ the rights
Rosary beads made from expired contraceptive pills. A work that talks about the rights one has to reproduction in relation to the rites that people choose to enable reproduction. Installation for the climate change exhibition Artists for Future, Group Global 3000, Berlin, Germany. https://gg3.eu/de/artists-for-future-2/
The National Lottery
The Spanish Christmas Lottery is a national superstitious phenomenon, where even if you can’t pay rent, you can pay 20Euro for a Christmas Lotto ticket. In December 2019 I left my lotto ticket on the streets outside the lotto office, 20Euro worth in 5c coins.
Plasti-henge
Found plastic bottles rearranged in shape of Stonehenge in Aranda de Duero, Burgos.
Wrapped in plastic
Installation during the street arts festival C.A.L.L.E Lavapiés where the iconic pharmacy facade in Lavapiés plaza was wrapped and recreated from plastic rubbish found in the neighbourhood. The installation was for a month in May 2019. The premise behind the wrapped building was to show how our lives are consumed and contained by plastic waste and from a distance we don’t notice what we are doing
Signage waste
This exploration began back in Rotorua aka Roto Vegas, when I was an artist in residence and invited visitors to the tourist town to create a souvenir from their own rubbish.
I notice that people tend to through away their rubbish at night, hidden with no one watching. But we are always being observed and monitored. Our waste consumption is under surveillance too.
A twist on the zona videovigilada (video surveillance zone) was the zona selfie (selfie zone) sign installed in front of an abandoned lot.
For the national Spanish electiones in May 2019. Voting for a party depending on how and what you recycle.
