SAFE: Incorporates a sense of ‘border,’ claustrophobic and safeguarded by a gun. The Dream and Americana quality of the white picket fence tightens around the safe space that keeps a gun.
WORTH: A response piece to the events in
Haditha, where many civilians and families died. The bodies in the video were taken from the images published in the US news that day.

Time: This video that resembles a sand clock and a shooting target keeps ticking. The soldier in the bottle looses his head every time.

SERIES: ON WAR
These videos inquire into reasons and sequels of a context of fighting and hatred that constitutes the main stage where we currently live. Feelings of confusion, upset, paranoia, sadness, frustration and loss generated by the current war dominate my thoughts and emerge as I work in new art.
RED STRIPE (2006): Red stripe is two fold. It is a piece that speaks of an internalization of madness. It is a political cry. Red Stripe also refers to the media of film: the red vertical lines identify the beginning and the end of a film, as in super 8 and 16 mm formats. This video makes use of some unwelcome occurrences that take place when film is being projected, the repetition and sound of film getting stuck in the machine, the film being burnt by the bulb, etc. In between the stripes the video offers a glimpse at another reality and blends sanity and madness, references war and calls for a social change. This piece disassembles time altering its limits and creating a more complex new narrative that is fragmented and non linear.
