Ejercicios matutinos, 2014
«I formed a choral group with the aim of generating a sculpture following the affirmation by John Cage that the repetition of a composition can generate an object.
I selected a series of texts and words, and designed a choreography, in relation to this new text, for the choral group to perform.
This way, what is said and done in the space shapes two possible sculptures.»

Ejercicios
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
La repetición de una composición crea un objeto. Un objeto nunca es el mismo dos veces.
El espacio como un objeto de conocimiento no de contemplación. Lo que realmente sucede cuando consideramos algo es una interpretación de lo que debería ser o de lo que podría convertirse.
El mundo real no es un objeto, es un proceso.
No es una superficie que recorre los cuerpos sino una abstracción que pensamos. Algo que reside solo en el espacio y el tiempo determinado en que se produce.
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
