Acrylic paint on fishing nets and glass each 29 x 45 cm, total dimensions 63 x 45cm
Old and irregular fishing net are wrapped around glasses. These objects are then prepared like traditional canvases and
painted. The paint follows the pattern of the net and is applied on both sides of the glass. The glass allows a thickness
that makes the painting on the front and the one on the back simultaneously visible and distant.

Understanding your position (1 year), 2013
Performance for an unsuspecting collaborator and me.
Duration: about 2 minutes.
https://vimeo.com/114300617
This performance uses a bracelet that I designed and cast alongside a series of instruction-drawings. If during the exhibition somebody asks me about my work, I tell him/her that “my work is a performance that I can show only if you help
me rehearse it”, then I give him/her a pile of 20 drawing to show me. These are the instructions for a series of movements and sounds that I promptly execute. The collaborator doesn’t know what the instructions are or the duration of
the piece. Since the drawings are small the person needs to be close to me and to move in the space following my movements and sounds. The instructions are based on the reactions of a 1 year old child to the bracelet.
Poto and Cabengo meeting X, 2014
Performance and clay sculpture.
Duration: 3 or more hours.
https://vimeo.com/114300379
In the exhibition space is a clay sculpture of a black stone which I ask people to hold or to pass between them but not
to put down anywhere. I make an effort to greet the visitors, chat about the exhibition and engage in small talk. During
these exchanges, I only speak with the 123 words that constitute my two years old son's vocabulary. The performance is
not announced and there is no explanation of it in the press release.
