My work is based on light projections of geometric shapes projected on vegetation and landscape. I work in previously selected natural spaces, with the essential means and material to carry out light projections that, because of their own nature, are ephemeral. I use photography as a means to register and spread the event.

The relation between geometry and landscape has been dealt with widely from the beginnings of the XXth century in architecture and sculpture. In both cases the materials that conform geometry have a physical consistency determined by the materiality of these means. The fact that the material that draws and gives shape to that geometry is an element as intangible as light is a very important fact of my work.

In this relation I look into a subtle physical quality that I would call resonance, since I find this term to be the one that best reflects the effect of the superposition of two languages apparently as different as are the precision of geometry and the irregularity of landscape. Everything that happens in the landscape could be described and explained in terms of mathematics, physics and geometry, just the same as in the aspects of invisible but quantifiable energy. I believe in the existence of something like an energetic design of the materials, that can be discerned through geometry. This is why there’s a potentially revealing harmony of the hidden aspects of reality that is deduced form the relation of geometry and landscape.

I work directly on nature. I search for something that requires an experience in nature’s real time and space. Manipulating a picture on a computer is something out of my interests. When I’m in a determined place I feel and interpret what’s happening. I look for the representation of something intangible that is latent in the places I work in and that, in my opinion, is made visible in my interventions; opening the visibility to other dimensions of reality that were hidden. This way geometry becomes the key to open that visibility.
