The essential of my work is focused on finding the essential moments in everyday life. I go outside with my video camera to find the unexpected and, at the same time, manipulate the reality. First, I make in-camera editing, where the first shot leads to another default but unexpected. After, in editing room can all have a new meaning. Therefore, the purpose of the process is to make the everyday life an art object that speaks for itself.

The historic memory, how the people tell the History and focus their perception of the world looking through the past the present. The memory like a ghost that inhabit our lives but we can’t or don’t want to see. My last experimental documentaries had the central point of the narration in this, and how take form visually this idea. I’m worried about how the concepts needs to take the ideal audiovisual form for express their meaning. Every movie is different and needs it own style.

Work with the landscape, the objects in it, their history, and the forms it can appear are my principal audiovisual style. I treat the landscape like the principal character of my films. The urban and na-tural landscape, and their combination, can be expressed by itself. At that point, my work demand the attention and the patience of the public, because is about time. And time needs time to develop. Search the essential moments in everyday life, or, talk about the historic memory is question of time, and the landscape is the sign of the time.

Play with the landscape forms and the essential moments in the reality develops other kind of works focused in the abstraction of the image through shapes, colors, rhythms, and sounds turning it into a sensory experience so that the image is purely plastic.

My approach to the contemporary art, and the meeting with artists, has led me to create a line of work about the art spaces and representations. My first documentary, (De)constructing the space (2011) deepens in how change a installation space. My documentary glogau AIR (2014), goes be-yond and combines the GlogauAIR residence as a life space with the artist’s development. Since then all these workpaths are mixed in my lasts films.

Vallcarca (Sitges) was built in 1903 to house wor-kers of concrete factory MC Butsems and Fradera. In the 50s and 60s the company grew, and with it the colony, which grew into a town of five thousand inhabitants. The political and economic changes of the 70s led to the need for expansion of the con-crete factory and the destruction of that village. To-day, the only remaining street in Vallcarca is popu-lated by the ghosts of the past and his experiences are only in the memory of those who inhabited the place.

Montjuic (Barcelona) serves as a stage to speak of repetition, of emptiness, of the daily routine. The site, designed as a drop of elements that are cons-tantly repeated with slight variations, is home to thousands of daily visitors. Only some go far away and find those citizens that in weekends go up to the mountaintop to play music or do sport...
