| Introduction | I have the need of working with objects. Information society and digital media platforms has created a flow-work where almost everything but a final product stays on the impalpable level of zeros and ones. My artistic approach to this process wants to get rid of this state of creative emptiness I found myself in previous processes: once in a studio it seems there’s nothing to grasp, therefore there is nothing. Attributing a meaning, a memory or even a whole philosophy to a singular object can work in 2 different ways: as said, it allows me to ensemble a mass of intangible stuff and manipulate it physically, to experiment with its manipulation as it would be to manipulate thought, news, fears, to interrelate these in a intuitive way…something that couldn’t be possible just with text, thoughts or memories. Also, this fetish is personal and once the experimentation is enjoyed, its meaning can be revealed or not to the audience. It can become extremely descriptive, narrative, or it can become extravagant, mysterious, abstract and indefinable. |
