Escultura de descenso / Descending sculpture
Registro en video de una pelota con 80 lt. de agua que desciende por los callejones de Guanajuato.
This piece’s life starts with the interaction with the public space. It was thought for a specific place, the labyrinth like and inclined alleys in Guanajuato city in México, the ideal course for this misshappen red ball to move on, descending for the gravity action, changing the perception of time and space of those beholding or listening as the sculpture passes by.
As the sculpture moves through it’s twisted path of irregular surface adapts it’s shape to the terrain texture slipping down to the lower levels of the city.
The descending sculpture has been recorded on video.
Rigor Mortis
Uno de los espacios de la fábrica se encuentra ocupado en su totalidad por objetos que se han ido acumulando durante los años, como madera vieja, refacciones de maquinaria y otros objetos. La propuesta es hacer una intervención con todos estos elementos, para lo cual instalé varios dispositivos neumáticos, motores y un sistema electrónico que hará que los objetos se golpeteen o vibren generando sonidos y recorridos visuales y sonoros en todo el espacio para evidenciar el movimiento continuo y la vida que conserva la fábrica aún después de abandonada.

Rigor Mortis took place in a left and old textil factory, first in Latin America. One of the places inside this factory was full of old accumulated objects during the years, like old wood, machinery spare parts and others. The proposal was making an intervention with all these forgotten elements, installing several pneumatic devices, motors and a main electronic system which is able to move the objects, striking among them, generating visual and sonorous passed over around all the space. All about this is to remain the still movement and life of the factory after even left.
