[ ver la gaviota en la nube (to see the seagull in the cloud) ]

an installation with a hint of gestalt: the law of emergence allows to see a cloud formed by the seagulls – in opposition to the childrens game of recognizing animal-shapes in the clouds (which would correspond the law of prägnanz).

the elements are photocopies of seagull motives, stuck to the wall with transparent tape, the installation is accompanied by a ventilator that moves the elemnts in intervals.
the measures are: 160 x 120 cm approx.

[ bbi ]

this installation inspired by the controversy around the extension of the schönefeld airport to “berlin brandenburg international airport” (bbi). the project had been taken to court by the neighbours who claimed that it would have been easy to find a less populated area for the construction site. but there where other problems too: the question whether such a giant project was adecuate for a city as much in debt as berlin and also whether the airport had a chance to be comercially successfull, since it would be mainly used by low cost airlines.

the installation is made with fotocopied and tape-stuck paperelements:

it was located during 3 days in the underground passage of the schönefeld airport trainstation.

a general view of the situation:

at this point i would like to thank the deutsche bahn AG for their help! thanks a lot! amazing how in germany everybody is suportive towards art, cant say the same thing about barcelona (it is actually impossible to get a permission for intervention in the public space for individuals, even when you are an official art student!)

[ flieger, studien für bbi (planes, studies for bbi) ]

these were the preparatory studies for my installation in the train station of the berlin schönefeld airport. i put them up in my studio at the universität der künste, and i have to admit, in the end i like them better than the actual thing at schönefeld. it was really fun to see them growing… surprise myself, and then take them apart, seeing how they become fragile and transparent.

[ las bolsas (the bags) ]

this installation was part of the “art meeting” exhibition, held by the erasmus students of the universität der künste in berlin.

the bags are a collection from the shops in berlin and the airport of barcelona, illustrating my trips back and forth between the two cities and my ways around my new temporary home town.

[ me gustan las fresas ]

an installation with a stencil graffiti on loose flyers in the entrance of an exhibition that was intended to be destroyed by the movement of people passing by. the desired effect was not achieved because some visitor stole all the flyers that formed the graffiti the very night of the opening.
