The experience becomes sensibly present to those who inhabit time and space.
Not to a silent and withdrawn spectator.

The story is about two studentes who were murdered in a colombian beach.
AN IMMORTAL GOODBYE This time the concept to work with was space, so a huge house used as a pub deposit, full of chairs, tables, lights, decoration and history was given to continue telling the story.
SPACE An amount of an area or of a place that is empty or that is available for use.

I chose to work in what used to be the garage and tried to recreate the feeling of the crime scene.
The resignification of an abandoned space with no memories but a lot of traces.

La casa de la cutura.

The objective of this project was to build a place that could host reunions and rehearsals of Palomino`s dance and percussion group Sirimapa.
PALOMINO It is located on the caribbean high road, on the bank of the Palomino river, near the caribbean sea coast.

* The construction must be designed and built using guadua sticks. Is an approach to design that attempts to involve all stakeholders in the design process, including customers, citizens, users, so the result is surely needed and usable.
PARTICIPATORY

Vans classic Bogotรก 2015 This was a photography, cinema and design contest, organized by VANS, whose idea was to find out how people live and share Bogotรก. I participated in the design category where the purpose was to make an illustration for a pair of classic VANS shoes.
“THAT`S HOW THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED ME”
EN
“Así me la recetó el doctor” SP This is a popular colombian proverb commonly used as a compliment for women.
SURPRISE! Each letter cut out of adhesive vinyl, was placed on the women bathroom`s mirror.
CADENCE Cadencia
EN SP
Cadence is the name of a project which seeks to make bogotanians aware of the accelerated rythm we live in. The purpose is to make a pause.
This rythm and life style is also making us forget, so another objective is to give people the chance to think about the eastern hills and take a look at them, because they are almost invisible to our eyes thanks to the large number of high buildings that have become our view nowadays.
Lets save our eastern hills.
EASTER HILLS An orographic system located to the east of Bogota, which serves as a natural border of the city. Many water sources are born along its 14000 hectares area.
“�
The eastern hills as an archetype of place where collective reference points and individual marks, history and memory are mixed.
WOMAN Mujer
EN
SP All infinitive verbs in Spanish end in ar, er or ir. Mujer means woman, and ends in er, just like an infinitive verb, so lets think of woman as an action.
This project is in construction, it keeps evolving. I started by writing the word woman in as many ways as possible, using any kind of materials and techniques, to the point there is no more writing, instead there is building, weaving, sticking, entangling... INIFINITIVE The basic form of a verb such as be or run. In English, an infinitive its used by itself.
“�
The word itself represents an action, the act of being thought and written. what we see is just the result, its existance is a whole process.
