^ESP La obra es un canal que posibilita la experiencia de la vida en la vorágine del día a día. Un diálogo entre modos de habitar el mundo. Aquel regido por la mente —rumiante, desapegada, a menudo obsesionada con las formas del llamado éxito y la medida del tiempo. Y otro, más sutil, sensorial y presente, anclado en el único instante que sabe verdaderamente posible.

^ENG Art is a channel through which life can be experienced amid the daily whirlwind. A dialogue between two timelines, two ways of inhabiting the world. One governed by the mind — ruminative, detached, often obsessed with the forms of success and the passing of time. The other more subtle, sensorial, and synced with the present — the only instant possible.

Rumination, it is said, is a steady and enduring mental process.
I reflect on the body’s fragility when confronted with thought’s relentless persistence.

Dicen que la rumiación supone un proceso estable del pensamiento, mantenido en el tiempo.
Yo pienso acerca de la fragilidad del cuerpo ante la perseverancia del pensamiento.

2017^{Stamp states:} Es un acto mental el que hace surgir al mundo ^ENG It's a mental act that gives rise to the world

What place does Reason occupy in our conception of Reality?
Is there an objective world? Are we aware of how the way we see the world turns out to be a more or less logical construction?
A sentence that invites us to ask a question to ourselves.
An intention to ask more about the order of things.
A prayer that pretends to be a whisper of doubt, once again, about Reason. -
--
¿Qué rol ocupa la Razón en nuestra concepción de la Realidad?
¿Existe un mundo objetivo? ¿Somos conscientes de que nuestra forma del ver el mundo es el resultado de una construcción más o menos lógica?
Una proposición que convoca a la reflexión.
Una invitación a preguntarnos más acerca del orden de las cosas.
Una oración que pretende susurrar una duda, una vez más, acerca de la Razón. -

^{ENG Quote in the track}“There would have been no beginning, therefore; and instead of being the one from whom the discourse proceeds, I would rather be a small gap in the chance of its unfolding, the point of its possible disappearance.” M. Foucault, The Order of Discourse, 1970

The track plays with a quotation from Michel Foucault, layering the voice until it becomes mere noise. Repetition and appropriation become tools for disarming the subject, strategies of anonymity. The destruction of originality as a trace of identity. /
La pista juega con una cita de Michel Foucault, superponiendo la voz hasta volverla un mero ruido. La reiteración y apropiación como armas de desarme del sujeto; como recursos del anonimato. La destrucción de la originalidad como testimonio de la identidad.

<sup>They say that rumination is a stable, sustained thinking process; the continuous processing of everyday worries in an excessive way that interferes with our daily routines.I think about time and, above all, I am consumed by the idea of making the most of it. I consider what I mean when I say “the most,” and I realize I don’t know. I draw several conclusions, simultaneously and contradicting, all of them. It doesn’t matter— they all coexist. As Burroughs says, experience and perception can hold multiple degrees of simultaneity.I return to thinking about Time and realize that, although I don’t know how, the calculation of its use always comes out negative for me. Is it this century? Is it the overwhelming whirlwind that defines this century?Time is immaterial; we neither possess it nor can we control it. We try to measure it as a homogeneous continuum while perceiving it as irregular: time either flies or refuses to pass at all. We never understand it. Will never do. Here lie all our failures in the dialectic we attempt with Time.I believe rhetoric is the mind’s most powerful resource. Hence the excess, hence rumination.I also believe success is a notion crudely disguised as luxury and superficial shine. And I believe we are easily dazzled.

I suppose many things, most of them useless to the pragmatism of our era. And I dare to assert that art becomes a way of noticing—a gesture, if not a prophecy of salvation—against these fragile notions of judgment, despotic and imprisoning to the free spirits housed within each of our finite existences.Art is always the question worth asking; the secret we will never cease to reveal.</sup>

Curatorial Practices

^ESP Como artista he tenido la oportunidad y honor de escribir para varios artistas colegas, tanto desde la curaduría de sus exhibiciones, así como en una especie de ejercicio conjunto para el desarrollo de sus statements de obra.
La escritura es una práctica que atraviesa toda mi producción creativa. Algo así como una meditación activa, que me ayuda a aclarar procesos y decantar ideas.En este desarrollo continuo, Lost in Transmission fue -en 2019- un ejercicio curatorial, donde me permití jugar con los límites entre obra y texto de sala, y del que resultó también un ensayo del proceso de trabajo y las ideas involucradas.

^ENG As an artist, I have had the opportunity and the honor of writing for several fellow artists—both through the curatorship of their exhibitions and through a kind of shared exercise in the development of their artistic statements.
Writing is a practice that runs through my entire creative production, something like an active meditation that helps me clarify processes and distill ideas.

In this ongoing development, Lost in Transmission was—back in 2019—a curatorial exercise in which I allowed myself to play with the boundaries between the artwork and the exhibition text, and from which an essay also emerged, reflecting on the working process and the ideas involved.
