The basic materials for the construction of these inarticulable images are texts from advertising posters, with which I create images with the aim of blurring the boundary between reality and fiction, constructing a literary flow not governed by the rules of language itself.
Resorting to the dissection, tearing and restructuring of words, I search for an impossible narration, which bets on a poetic, musical and emotional communication.
The letters and phrases are destroyed and re-created to the point of becoming indecipherable and yet close, recognisable... evoking landscapes of thought.
Like a puzzle, where the words, broken and blurred, show us the coexistence between the logic of classical narrative and the logic-logic of contemporary abstract thought.
This textual and lyrical 'discourse' turns the lyrics into something completely abstract that stimulates or encourages us to enter into different thought processes; to look at the work as one listens to music, without trying to develop a process of narrative comprehension or intellectual apprehension.
These are decontextualised texts, whose new 'syntax' is strange and at the same time close to us, enveloping us in confronting feelings of familiarity and discomfort, provoking a certain strange attraction.
This 'broken syntax' makes meaning unstable and polysemic, and so, by deconstructing form, and with it concept and meaning, opens up the possibility for image, narrative, and evocative power to be woven with unexpected magic.
It is another way of telling, a new relationship to language that involves a mental restructuring that creates another relationship to narrative time... and also, paradoxically, to sensation and subjectivity.
Perhaps it is a matter of embarking on a personal journey, of creative nomadism, of imagining a mobile frontier, from which to play at thinking differently.
