Religare, 2021
Pine wood, cotton fabric and graphite. Video display using a television and multimedia player.
200 x 200 cm
Developed for the contemporary art exhibition Forma Balaguer, espacios de arte contemporáneo, the Religare project consisted of an event that was developed within the Iglesia del Miracle in Balaguer, during the period of celebration of the mass at 12:00 on October 3rd 2021, where graphite was drawn on two cotton canvases, the footprints of people who visited and participated in the religious event at that time. For this purpose, a carpet was installed in the central corridor of the sanctuary so that when it was stepped on, it would transfer the footprints of the visitors’ shoes to the two canvases placed underneath. When the ceremony ended, these two canvases were removed and fixed in a cross-shaped frame previously prepared for this purpose. In the end, the cross was installed on the church’s façade and inside a video showed the people walking at mass.
With the support of Viarco Fábrica Portuguesa de Lápis.

“The […] [drawing machine] […] with the sound of its own making”, 2019
Beech and pine wood, steel, lead, nylon, pencil, paper, four tire set and audio player.
100 x 70 x 70 cm
Developed during the artistic residence of the Biennial of Coruche in Portugal, this drawing machine was made by cutting a work table – designed by José Espinho and produced by Olaio Furniture Makers in the 1970’s – which was also the table used to initially design and conceive the drawing machine itself. A wooden cube with about 70 cm width was built and several doors of different sizes were added to the cube. When the doors open the simple mechanisms placed inside the cube automatically draw random scrawls in a sheet of paper. At the same time, it is also possible to hear the sound recorded at the carpentry during the production of this work. This piece invites the audience to interact with it and discover it.
