I am often not where my body performs its functions.

This exhibition project draws on a photographic archive that I have been compiling over the last five or six years, in which I study architectural elements. I am interested in ideas such as repetition, modulation, scale,..., and how these challenge us when we see, walk through, or touch.

These images give rise to the development of a formal language that helps me to guide certain cadences that I have been researching in recent projects. Above all, the process and how it is influenced by previous forms. The imprint and intervention of the body on forms, and how this influences the final perception. These elements account for the repetition, rhythm, and seriality that define these architectural elements.

The material is important, as is how it modulates and conditions the process. In this idea of capturing the architecture of forms, I use forged, vulcanized materials. This transformation (from liquid to solid, passing through phases of viscosity/plasticity) generates a certain ambiguity in the sculptural body.
